“Culture is not only what we inherit from those who came before us, but it’s what we practice, culture is what we share, and culture is what we pass on to those coming behind us.” - Minister Owen Darrell, JP, MP
THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for this year’s Cultural Connect.
This year, we did something a bit different. We dedicated our event to the future of our culture by hosting an afternoon catered to our young people.
Families enjoyed creative activities, a fun castle, food, and performances by beloved Bermudian artists and Gombeys.

I joined Minister Owen Darrell and the Bermuda Tourism Authority in hosting musician Brent Faiyaz at Camden, along with several local musicians and performers, yesterday. It was great to see local artists, musicians, and producers talking about their work and building new connections. There was plenty of laughter around the table as conversations flowed throughout the afternoon. We trust that Brent enjoyed his time in Bermuda and wish him all the best.
Congratulations to Gombey Warriors, one of our 2025 Heritage Grant recipients!

Celebrating 60 Years of the Royal Bermuda Regiment 🇧🇲
A closer look at the new Royal Bermuda Regiment 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stamp Collection, marking six decades of duty, resilience and service to Bermuda.
The six-stamp collection captures the many ways the Regiment has served Bermuda over the years, including emergency and disaster response, recruitment and training, ceremonial duties, Coast Guard operations, community service and its longstanding traditions.
More than postal products, the stamps serve as miniature historical records, preserving and sharing the story of the Royal Bermuda Regiment for generations to come.
Congratulations to the Royal Bermuda Regiment on 60 years of service.
