Events and attractions on the island of Barbados.
Barbados is known as the cultural capital of the Caribbean, and the island hosts some of the region's most popular and best known events and festivals. World famous musicians perform at the annual Jazz Festival, Gospelfest and during Holder's Season, while Crop Over and the Oistins Fish Festival are don't-miss parties celebrating local culture and cuisine.
