Bermuda Day

Bermuda Day, celebrated on May 24th or the weekday nearest May 24th if that date falls on a weekend, is considered the first day of summer and the first day of the year to take a swim in the ocean or take a boat ride.  The Department of Community and Cultural Affairs sponsors the Bermuda Day Parade in Hamilton, where Bermudians and visitors line the streets for a colorful celebration, with runners, floats Gombey Dancers and more. 

2011 BERMUDA DAY PARADE

The Parade will begin in the area of Bernard Park, at 1:30 p.m. and move along Dutton Avenue on to Marsh Folly Road. Performance will begin along Cedar Avenue with the parade making a left turn on to Church Street, a right on to Court Street, through Front Street, and a final right on to Queen Street.

 

For the safety of the public, as the parade gets to the top of Queen Street, the floats will make a right turn on to Church Street for park in front of City Hall. The dance trucks, however, will make a slight left turn and then proceed along Wesley Street, unload dancers at the performance site and move on to the back of the City via Park Road.

 

Musical entertainment will take place in Victoria Park throughout the day.
