Above: A cross-section of one of 22 "bands" which participated at the Kadooment festival on Monday.... some bands consisted of hundreds of revellers.
Sorry for the hiatus. Here in Barbados, the local festival season recently concluded, but not before I was able to relax and take in some of the sights and sounds of some of the summer festivities. If you have never visited Barbados around this time of year, consider doing it next year!
This was taken from a cramped vantage point on one of the many streets which the parade passed through.... the parade goes through cramped streets like this one, and then proceeds onto the highway, where the event culminates as a street party.
I posted a few pics of the Crop Over street carnival known as Kadooment, which is pretty much an event which involves revelers parading in colorful costumes, on or behind music trucks adorned with vibrant livery. It's a load of fun to either witness or be a part of, and I encourage you to visit next summer.
Go here for additional coverage of the festival, and other Caribbean entertainment & news tidbits.
Once again, I am sorry for my brief absence. I hope to resume posting daily once again!
