Minister praises Bermuda Day Parade
The success of the 2025 Bermuda Day Parade was highlighted by the Minister of Tourism, Transport, Culture and Sport in the House of Assembly today.
Owen Darrell said that the event “captured the power of community, the richness of our culture and the bold promise of our future”.
He added: “This year’s parade saw remarkable participation and the route was lined with families, friends and visitors all soaking in the experience.
“From the very first beat to the last Gombey step, the 2025 Bermuda Day Parade delivered something special, an honest and joyful collision of heritage and innovation.”
The minister said each of the parade’s grand marshals — Glenn Jones, Eugene O’Connor Sr, McKenzie-Kohl Tuckett, Seldon Woolridge and Coral Wells — exemplified the theme “The Future is Now”.
He added that Gombeys joined parade festivities and closed the event “with unmatched passion and pageantry”.
Mr Darrell said that an after-party along the parade route was “a finale that reflected exactly what this year’s theme stood for: where we’ve been and where we’re going”.
He concluded: “Bermuda Day 2025 has set a new standard not just in creativity or execution but in how we honour the past while stepping fully into the future.
“I thank every participant, organiser and supporter who helped make this year’s event so meaningful.”
