March 18th, 2020 Bermuda Calendar Update
Good Morning, Bermuda!
We hope everyone is staying safe and calm during these uncertain times. Naturally, due to the Government’s recommendations to practice social distancing in light of COVID 19, many events on the calendar have been recently cancelled or postponed until further notice. Here are all the ones which have been added since last week, and planned to go ahead as scheduled. It’s important that you scroll down to the Quick Recap Section at the bottom of this post to see all upcoming and recently updated events.
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.
If you are planning any upcoming events you can submit your event here – a basic listing is free! Just be sure to include all of the relevant details in your description. If you have cancelled or postponed an event that is presently on the calendar, please let us know by sending an email to info@BermudaEvents.com.
