The Barbados Crop Over festival came to an end last month with many Guyanese joining the thousands of visitors to the island for a high-energy, events-packed week and many are urging fellow citizens to go experience the diversity of the carnival-like celebrations for themselves.
“I had a ball! For me, it is different in that there is so much to choose from during the one festival. There is something for everybody and from every age group. The best was the Foreday Morning J’ouvert and the Rise Barbados [concert],” Guyanese teacher Grace Alert told the Stabroek News as she viewed the season’s culmination event – the Grand Kadooment Parade.
