Photo Set #1: 2017 Bermuda Day Parade
Thousands of people lined the streets for the always-popular Bermuda Day parade which saw Gombey troupes, dance groups, majorettes, marching bands, floats, and more make their way through the streets of Hamilton. The parade got underway this afternoon, following the cycling and half-marathon races, which were held earlier in the day.
The parade line-up included the Bermuda Long Riders Motorcycle Club along with visiting members of ETA Motorcycle Cruises, The Royal Bermuda Regiment Band and Corps of Drums, Grand Marshall Skipper Ingham, Bermuda Rifle & Drill Team, DanceSations, Grand Marshal Katura Horton-Perinchief, Lotus Mind Body Spirit Wellness Centre, America’s Cup, Grand Marshal Cal Simons, Sui Generis Dance Team, and more.
It is nice to see so many people coming together. All the hard work and efforts of the dancers, the float designers, etc. Would love to see the number of floats entered increase. Is there anyway to incentivize this as part of the BTA (back to the old days of a hundred floats, full of flowers)?
