November 6th, 2019 Bermuda Calendar Update
Good Morning Bermuda,
We’re already into the month of November and you know what is right around the corner – can you believe it?!?!
But before you get too excited and start humming carols, take a look at all of the new events which have been added to the Bermuda Calendar since last week and make sure to check out the Quick Recap Section at the bottom of this post for a full listing of all upcoming events, including those previously covered in previous posts. Remember – we still have Thanksgiving to get through! And there are already a few ideas for where/ how to to spend it listed below if you’re interested.
Since it’s not practical to add them to the post each week, all of the Regular/ Weekly Events are listed on a separate page which you can access from the drop-down options under the Other Sections tab on the homepage. And PLEASE, if you are planning any upcoming events, let us know by submitting a full description of your event via our online submission form here – a basic listing is free!
