Congaline Carnival

Street Party · Crop Over · July

Rating: 4.7 / 5

Congaline Carnival is one of the signature street fêtes of the Crop Over season, traditionally bringing together soca fans for massive roving parties through the streets of Bridgetown. DJs and live performers ride flatbed trucks while thousands of revellers in event-branded shirts 'palance' along the route, following the trucks until late into the night. The event is part of the wider roster of NCF and private Crop Over parties that fill the calendar from late June through August, and it is popular with both Bajans and returning diaspora.
