Bermuda Carnival takes over the whole island, with events held across Bermuda, the stunning British island territory.
Carnival in Bermuda is a vibrant and dynamic celebration of culture, music, and unity held annually in Bermuda. Formerly known as Bermuda Heroes Weekend, the event has since expanded from a long weekend into a full, action-packed week, growing into an even bigger showcase of the rich heritage and traditions of the island. This multi-day event features a diverse array of festivities that highlight everything that makes Bermudian culture so special, from music and dance to food and community pride. At its core, the celebration also pays tribute to the island’s national heroes, honoring their contributions to Bermudian society and fostering a sense of pride and unity among everyone who takes part.
One of the highlights of the carnival is Revel de Road, the colorful grand parade where masqueraders adorned in elaborate costumes dance through the streets to the pulsating rhythms of soca, calypso, and other Caribbean beats. Spectators line the streets to witness the spectacle and join in the revelry, creating an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie that captures the true spirit of the island. What started as a single weekend celebration has grown into one of Bermuda’s most anticipated annual events, bringing together locals and visitors from all walks of life to celebrate the very best of Bermudian culture, heritage, and hospitality on a bigger scale than ever before.
Expect non-stop energy from the moment Carnival kicks off. The week opens with a free, family-friendly Family Fête in Hamilton featuring live performances and local talent competitions, then builds into a run of premium all-inclusive fetes, sunrise parties, and water-soaked celebrations across the island.
One of the highlights, J’ouvert begins at sunrise, with revelers dancing and celebrating covered in paint, powder, or water. The lively event combines Bermuda’s charm with Caribbean traditions, making it a colorful, high-energy experience.
WAVES takes the party to the sea, combining crystal-clear waters with elevated production and surprise guest performers for a one-of-a-kind soca experience.
The main event features bands of revelers in stunning costumes parading through the streets to the rhythm of soca music. Attendees can join a band or spectate and soak in the festive atmosphere.
Pan in The Park brings the island's heritage to life with live steel pan music, Gombey performances, dance groups, and local vendors serving up Bermudian favorites like fish chowder, fish cakes, and rum swizzle.
