Nearly 550 students between the ages of 9 and 12 have been invited from local schools to celebrate the event, which will feature an opening ceremony, an Endeavour race, a Bermuda Pilot Gig exhibition race, and a race in traditional Bermuda fitted dinghies with three teams, including America’s Cup sailors competing against a Bermudian team.
Regatta viewing will be in two locations – Ordnance Island and the T.S. Admiral Somers Building, with audio piped between the two venues. There will be a display of the Endeavour boats on Ordnance Island with additional sailing activities.
Regarding the event, a Corporation of St. George spokesperson said, “King’s Square, Ordnance Island, and Water Street West will be closed to vehicular traffic from 8.00am to 10.00pm.
“Members of the public who will be attending the event can park at Penno’s Wharf, on the dock as well as in the parking area. Police will be on hand to assist with parking.
