“This year, I am excited to celebrate the energy of our heritage all month long, and particularly on Bermuda Day, which falls on the traditional date of Friday, May 24.”

To celebrate the launch of Heritage Month, the Department of Culture posted a video across various social-media platforms.
Filmed and edited by videographer Qian Dickinson and featuring music by Bermudian artist Ninja Cutty, the film showcased Bermuda Day energy from previous years.
The public can view the Bermuda Day Parade live on the Government’s Facebook page, its CITV YouTube channel and on CITV: One Communications channel 2 and WoW channel 102.
