Preserving culture starts with experiencing it🇧🇧

Stilt walking is a cherished Barbadian tradition passed down through generations. This iconic art form continues to play an important role in preserving the heritage that makes Barbados unique.

The Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. (BTMI) CEO Andrea Franklin, for the first time, tried her hand at stilt walking at BTMI’s Culture Day and Reception. It was a memorable moment that reflected BTMI’s commitment to celebrating and preserving Barbados’ traditions.

By creating opportunities like these, BTMI continues to showcase the heart of Crop Over, ensuring that international media, content creators, visitors leave not only with incredible memories, but with a genuine understanding of the people, history, and traditions that make Barbados the home of the sweetest summer festival in the world.

Throwing it back to an exciting day at BTMI’s Party Stand at Kensington Oval. 🏏🇧🇧

BTMI was proud to sponsor the Party Stand, where patrons enjoyed refreshing sno cones from our sponsored vendor, relaxed while shaded by our branded umbrellas, and experienced the excitement of international cricket in true Barbadian style.

The day was made even more memorable as the West Indies claimed a two-wicket victory over New Zealand in the fourth ODI, finishing on 269/8 in front of an enthusiastic home crowd.
Looking back on moments like these reminds us of the power of sport to bring people together and make Barbados a premier destination for world-class events.
