Destination Dockyard

Bermuda's fun and exciting West End event sponsored by the West End Development Corporation (WEDCO) and hosted by the Chamber of Commerce is held each Monday during the summer months – there's a festival of fun taking place at the West End! Arrive at the Royal Naval Dockyard by 8:00 pm and let the good times roll until 10:30 pm.

As you step off the ferry at Dockyard, vendors displaying their crafts and talents will greet you. Stores stay open later at Clocktower Shopping Mall, and it's fun to browse for unique gifts at the Craft market and galleries, watch glassblowers at work, sample rum cakes, stroll through the Victualling Yard, and visit attractions such as Snorkel Park and Dolphin Quest Bermuda.

Adding to the festive atmosphere are musicians, dancers and other entertainers. Particularly popular are Gombey dancers and drummers, who reflect Bermuda's African, Native American and British colonial heritage with lively rhythms and vibrant costumes adorned with sequins, yarn fringe and trailing ribbons. Their rhythmic, age-old dances never fail to delight the crowds. It's the perfect way to spend a balmy summer evening.
