Ultimate Crop Over 2019 is here!

If you've read the title of this blog and you're wondering, "What is Crop Over?", then you're in the right place. Please allow us to explain it to you...

According to Wikipedia, Crop Over (formerly called "Harvest Home") is a traditional harvest festival which began in Barbados, having had its early beginnings on the sugar cane plantations during slavery.

The crop over tradition began in 1687, and featured singing, dancing and accompaniment by bottles filled with water, shak-shak, banjo, triangle, fiddle, guitar, and bones. Originally a celebration signaling the end of the yearly sugar cane harvest, it has since evolved into Barbados' biggest national festival similar to Carnival in Brazil and Trinidad. Beginning in June, Crop Over runs until the first Monday in August when it culminates in the finale, The Grand Kadooment.

It can also be called Barbados Festival, Barbados Crop Over Festival, among other names.

We just call it a great, big party! And we take you to experience it with Ultimate Crop Over.
