Despite ongoing concerns about the rising cost of Grand Kadooment costumes, several revellers on the road Monday said the experience delivered value for money, with some insisting the celebration was worth every dollar.

Among them were Zell and Ortez Hurley, who travelled from the United Kingdom to celebrate Crop Over with Aura Experience. Speaking to Barbados TODAY during the Grand Kadooment parade, the pair described this year’s festival as unforgettable.

Asked about the cost of their costumes, they said each outfit cost “about £500”.
