Cavalcade gets things going

Crop Over is here!

The Mega Cavalcade at Briar Hall, Christ Church, last night signalled the start of the sweetest summer festival.

With new and seasoned artistes hitting the stage, acts such as Stiffy, Verseewild, Mistah Dale and Biggie Irie started off the evening before the small but appreciative crowd who welcomed the artistes.

Crop Over hits of 2015 and new songs for the season teased the crowd at the only cavalcade on the National Cultural Foundation’s Crop Over calendar.

The season will be blessed by the church service tomorrow at Sharon Moravian Church, St Thomas.

On June 2, it will be Crop Over In the City at Independence Square and the first tent, House of Soca, opens on June 5.

The festival culminates on August 1 with Grand Kadooment.
