The successful commencement of the 2022 Crop Over Festival over the weekend with the Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes, demonstrated Barbadians’ desire to be outside and free from two long years of pandemic restrictions.The occasion of the 2022 Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes also exemplified the incredible efforts of the team at the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) to deliver a thoughtful, well-choreographed and culturally-centred event.The large number of families present, in fact, the demographic of attendees appeared to fall into a cross section of the Barbadian community, as well as visitors to the island.
