Bermuda is a place that hosts many events and festivals. We can start with Bermuda having an inordinate number of golf tournaments and sedate events like bowls tournaments and gardening shows aimed primarily at older people but that does not mean it lacks liveliness.
Strutting Gombey dancers with their stuff on New Year's Day and there is Bermuda Festival, a six-week performing arts spectacular that runs from mid-January through February.
The Bermuda Cat Fanciers Association Championship Cat Show in mid-March sounds like a hoot but is slightly less prestigious than the Newport-Bermuda Race, one of the world's major ocean yacht races held in late June during even-numbered years.
SOCA is a Caribbean music festival that has the Royal Naval Dockyards jumping in late July or early August, while the Bermuda Reggae Sun splash continues the skunking in mid-August. You can march to a different drummer during the three-day Bermuda Tattoo in early November, which ends with a grand finale of fireworks.
