Welcome to Bermuda Festival

After 48 years, The Bermuda Festival of the Performing Arts is sad to announce that it is suspending all operations and productions for the foreseeable future while it re-evaluates the financial and cultural viability of the Festival.

 

Founded in 1976, The Bermuda Festival of the Performing Arts has been dedicated to bringing diverse, world class performing artists to Bermuda for public performances and community outreach. Our vision has been to enrich the quality of life on the island through creative, engaging, and inspiring experiences. It has been the only Bermuda platform for important and rising international artists in music, dance, and theatre.

 

We recognize that the arts sector, along with the world, is changing rapidly and that our current model may not fit the needs of future generations. The suspension of operations is an opportunity to think afresh about the priorities, structures, and future presentations of performing arts in Bermuda.  Thank you to all who have participated in the Festival over the years, we are not giving up, we are reinventing.
