400th Year Anniversary ~ Bermuda 2009!

Bermuda begin in 1609 with the wreck of the Sea Venture and now 400 years later we will be celebrating and showcasing Bermuda’s people and cultures with yearlong events that have built Bermuda to what it is today! We invite you to join us in our island celebration.

The "Atlantic Challenge 2009" begins from Vigo, Spain and ends in Belfast, Northern Ireland - a true race around the Atlantic and the first since 2000. Each port will host the fleet, with various festivals and activities taking place at every stop along the route.

From June 11 - 15, 2009, the Tall Ships will be in Hamilton to help celebrate Bermuda's 400 years of permanent settlement. This promises to be a truly unique and memorable event, so plan now to attend and be a part of the festivities....... check out the Events link above to see a list of the many exciting things we have planned during this time!
