This year’s edition will take place from June the 30th to August the 6th. Don’t miss the extravaganza and book your Barbados holiday in advance.

Sugarcane was introduced in Barbados in 1640, and the group that played a decisive role in the success of this industry were the Sephardi Jews, previously expelled from Spain.
