THE SWEETEST SUMMER FESTIVAL has officially started.
Yesterday, the Republic Bank Crop Over Opening Gala kicked off with a procession that started at the General Post Office in Cheapside and ended at Queen’s Park with the Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes.
With colour and creativity, Bridgetown was turned into a festive pot with tumbling green monkeys, the nutseller, elements of the two festival parades, the stiltwalkers and Mother Sallies.
Here, these characters portraying king and queen of the crop along with the stiltwalkers thrilling the large crowd in front of Parliament Buildings. (NS)
