# Barbados Crop Over 2027: dates, Kadooment and how to go
November 11, 2026 Soca Islands
Everything you need to plan Barbados Crop Over: dates, what to expect and how to go.
## When is Barbados Crop Over 2027?
Crop Over is a season of around three months that ends with Grand Kadooment Day, the big parade through Bridgetown. The official 2027 calendar hasn't been published yet; we'll update this page when it is.
Our Barbados Crop Over 2027 trip runs 28 July–3 August 2027 (7 days), or 30 July–3 August (5 days), with Kadooment Day on the road.
## What happens at Barbados Crop Over
Crop Over began on the sugar plantations in the 17th century as a celebration of the end of the cane harvest, and it is one of the oldest festivals in the western hemisphere. Old traditions still run through it, from the King and Queen of the crop to calypso as sharp social commentary, alongside fetes from dusk to dawn, craft markets and street food.
## A typical carnival week on our trip
This is the shape of our Barbados Crop Over itinerary, day by day. Events can change from year to year, so the trip page always has the current plan.
- **Day 1:** Arrive in Barbados – Meet and Greet. Arrive in Barbados and transfer to your accommodation. After settling in, the rest of the day is yours: the beach, the pool or a wander along St. Lawrence Gap.
- **Day 2:** Land Tour – Lush Cooler Party. A day to explore the island. Start underground at Harrison's Cave, a limestone cavern of stalactites, stalagmites and streams.
- **Day 3:** Mimosa Breakfast Party – Oistins’ Fish Fry. Leave the hotel just before sunrise for Mimosa, an all-inclusive breakfast fete with food and drinks.
- **Day 4:** AM Bush (Foreday Morning) – Bliss All-Inclusive. An early start: at 2 am the group heads to Caesar's Army AM Bush, a foreday morning event with drinks and breakfast included.
- **Day 5:** Limerz Cruise – Free Time. Set sail on the Limerz Cruise, a boat party with drinks and music on the water and the last fete on the itinerary.
- **Day 6:** Kadooment Day Parade (Full Costume). Grand Kadooment Day. In full costume, you'll parade with your band through the streets of Bridgetown in the grand finale of Crop Over, dancing behind the music trucks with thousands of revellers.
- **Day 7:** Barbados Departure. There are no scheduled activities on the final day. Depending on your departure time, there may be a few hours for souvenirs or a last swim before you say goodbye to the group and head to the airport.
## How much does it cost?
From US$3,149 per person sharing; shorter join-in from US$2,665.
Costumes are bought directly from the band. On our trip you play mas with Zulu International (registration through zuluinternational.com), and we help with registration and choosing your section. International flights and travel insurance are extra.
