- The Bermuda Department of Tourism presents the final Bermuda Nights of the season at Barr's Bay Park this Saturday, October 15th. Since the October 1st edition was cancelled due to bad weather, this one will feature performers from both, so the event will start at 7pm instead of 8pm due to the longer lineup. This includes the Steel Pan Orchestra, Djata, Capoeria Camara, Jahstice, Sia Spence & Da Business, Troika, Hindsite and H&H Gombeys - here's the flyer!
