Butterfield To Sponsor 2021 Harbour Nights
The Bermuda Chamber of Commerce announced that Butterfield Bank will be the lead sponsor of Harbour Nights 2021, which will start on Wednesday, July 21st, and will run for six weeks through August 25th from 7pm until 10pm.
A spokesperson said, “As has been the tradition for nearly 30 years, Front Street will host Bermuda’s longest running street festival, which is free to attend and open to all. This year, the event will feature offerings from 32 confirmed vendors, including local artisans, crafters, chefs and a DJ. As part of its sponsorship, Butterfield has committed to covering the associated application fees for vendors and will host the final evening of this year’s Harbour Nights series.”
Kendaree Burgess, CEO of the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce, said, “We are delighted to welcome Butterfield as our lead sponsor this year and thank them for their generous support and investment in our participating local businesses.
“By covering the fees for our rate-paying retailers and restaurants, Butterfield significantly reduces their bottom-line commitment, meaning they are able to maximise the economic opportunity and the exposure.
“We have been able to put in place a great event this year, adhering to all Covid-19 requirements, and encourage the community to join us knowing their safety has been a priority in our planning process. We look forward to welcoming all of Bermuda back to Harbour Nights.”
Michael Neff, Butterfield’s Managing Director in Bermuda, said, “Harbour Nights is an important and popular event on Bermuda’s summer calendar that has a measurable impact on vendors, retailers and restaurants within the city.
“Butterfield has been a supporter for many years and we are pleased to step up our involvement this year by sponsoring the participation of vendors across the six-week series, in addition to hosting the last night. It is an opportunity for the community and visitors to enjoy the safe return of a much-loved open air event that helps to stimulate the local economy.”
The Bermuda Chamber of Commerce said they “will provide specific details of vendors and all entry requirements for Harbour Nights 2021 next week.”
