Looking for information on Harbour Nights in Bemuda

[01Sweetpea]

We will be in Bermuda on Wednesday, May 22nd on the NCL Escape and Harbour nights will be going on.  Does anyone have any experience/information on this festival?  Is it better to book a restaurant for dinner?  Can you see the parade from street level?  How crowded is the 9:45 ferry from Hamilton to Dockyard?  

 

Thanks,

I have been a number of times. It is a street festival. Mainly tables with local arts and crafts, some food, and a children’s area with bouncy stuff. I usually eat on the ship early and have a drink later but you can eat dinner in Hamilton if you want. That is up to you. The parade is Gombey dancers. It is on the street. They have been starting their parade at 7:30. Last year they had ferries back to the Dockyard at 9:00 pm and 10:30 pm. Not 9:45. The ferries will be full if there are only those two times. The ferry schedule for this year is not out yet. There are usually changes so don’t go bye the old schedules. The new schedule will be out in April.

 

These photos I took will give you some idea of it.
