Celebrating Bermuda Day

Aired on June 30, 2019

Every May, the entire island of Bermuda comes alive to celebrate Bermuda Day, a cherished national holiday that was formerly known as Empire Day. Originally marking the birthday of Queen Victoria across all British colonies, the day has since evolved to celebrate Bermuda’s national identity and heritage as the colonies gained independence.

Until May 2018, Bermuda Day was celebrated on May 24th. However, the national holiday now takes place on the last Friday of the month. The festivities kick off with a marathon for both kids and adults, followed by a vibrant parade that showcases the island’s rich culture and traditions.

Visitors and residents alike set up camp along the roadside to enjoy the day’s festivities, which include an abundance of food and drink. The atmosphere is filled with joy and community spirit as everyone comes together to celebrate.

We had the pleasure of experiencing Bermuda Day firsthand, joining in the celebrations and marking our anniversary amidst the lively events.
