Good Morning Bermuda,

So here’s a round up of online activities to assist you as we adjust to our new circumstances in the era of COVID-19.

We hope you find this information useful and welcome you to let us know if you are offering any products or services that we can share with our audience by emailing info@BermudaEvents.com. Be sure to follow us on social media as well for updates.
