A family-friendly event has been set up to celebrate the arrival of the first official Disney Cruise in Bermuda.

Bermudian business Savvy Entertainment has announced the Poseidon Games exhibition, a hydroflight display with athletes from around the world, to take place on Saturday, the same day The Disney Magic is expected to arrive in Bermuda for the first time.

The ship is scheduled to remain in port overnight, departing Sunday afternoon.

Organisers said the event at Cross Island is a follow up to last August’s Poseidon Games hydroflight competition.

Anthony Blakey, Savvy chief executive, said: “The summer season is officially over. There are less family-friendly events on the island.

“It was important for us that we created this event that not only educates people about the hydroflight sport and culture but also showcases the beauty of Bermuda with the spectacular panoramic view at Cross Island and gives local entertainment and vendors the opportunity to showcase their talents and sell their goods to both locals and international guests.”

The Poseidon Games Exhibition will feature three of the world’s top hydroflight athletes including Callon Burns, Bermuda’s only professional hydroflight athlete. It will also feature performances by the Beat Project, PHC Majorettes and Drum Corps and DanceSations.

Kinezumi Water Sports, Play Games Entertainment, Anchor Restaurant, Lara Lo Sew Fab, Zoomables, Sun Kissed Hair and Henna and Jazzy Treats will also be there.

Entrance will be free, but eventgoers can purchase VIP tickets with tented seating, complementary drink tickets and opportunities to meet the athletes.
