What are Kadooment Bands?
To know what is a Kadooment Band is subjective to the costume Designer's imagination. The creation of costumes for Kadooment Bands in Barbados is an influential tool for self-expression. It allows the costume designer the freedom to explore and interpret their environment and culture, while the revelers become masqueraders of the art-form.

A Band House or Mas Camp is where the costumes are made and distributed for Kadooment.

Other names used in Barbados for Crop Over Kadooment Bands are: Costume Bands, Mas Bands, Masquerade Bands, Carnival Bands and Crop Over Bands.

Band Fetes or Limes are used as a socialising tool for band members and friends, as well as to generate funds for the Costume Band. More info...
