Chairman of the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) Dr Jasmine Babb has hailed Crop Over 2026 as a success, describing this year’s festival as “brilliant”.

Babb said the strong attendance at events throughout the season, including the Pic-O-De-Crop Finals, Pandemonium and Junior Kadooment, reflected the continued support for the festival.

“All of the fetes and all of the events have been sold out. The [Pic-O-De-Crop] final was absolutely full. We also had Pandemonium which was well attended and Junior Kadooment. Everything was well attended, and everybody is coming out including the vendors. All in all this year has been an excellent year,” she told Barbados TODAY.
