Harbour Nights To Run From May 6 To Aug 26
The Bermuda Chamber of Commerce announced the dates for Harbour Nights 2020, saying that the annual street festival will commence on Wednesday, May 6th and run through to Wednesday, August 26th, 2020.
“Front Street will host Bermuda’s largest and longest running street festival, with offerings from local artisans, crafters, chefs, musicians and other entertainers, and of course, the Gombeys,” the Chamber said.
The Mayor of Hamilton, Mr. Charles Gosling welcomes the announcement of the 2020 dates and comments, “The City of Hamilton is delighted to continue its support of Harbour Nights in Hamilton.
“As the centre for commerce and trade, the importance of Harbour Nights in Hamilton and the exposure it brings to smaller entrepreneurial businesses is invaluable. The knock-on effect of additional foot traffic stimulates the bottom line for our rate-paying retailers and restaurants and the vibe and energy of these now famous Wednesday nights speaks directly to the City’s mandate to be a vibrant one.
“We all need to remember that when it comes to our visitors, they chose Bermuda, they could have gone anywhere in the world and they came to these shores. We need to ensure that we provide experiences that speak to our people and our culture. Harbour Nights does that. I’d like to thank the Chamber of Commerce for their continued investment in Harbour Nights and all they do to better this important tourism product.”

Entrepreneurs and artisans are the heartbeat of this summer street festival, we look forward to seeing them line Front Street in a few months.”
