It’s all hands on deck as Bermuda turns 400.

This upcoming year of celebration will be like none other. Every sector is doing its part to participate in this landmark occasion and celebrate our history. The Government, the private sector, the artistic community, schools – every facet is showing enthusiasm and getting involved.

Countrywide involvement is critical as we celebrate this fourth centennial because history is about all of us. The central theme for 2009 will be “Celebrating Bermuda and Her People,” a fitting title as our country is united under a banner of togetherness.

This informative website is dedicated to helping residents and visitors alike navigate the 400th Anniversary events. As you will see, there is a comprehensive to-do list from December 2008 to December 2009. The events will teach and entertain the entire family; I hope you will have a chance to take part and share it with your children.

Bermuda 2009 is the perfect opportunity for us to show once again why our country is quickly becoming the envy of the world.

Enjoy the yearlong celebration!

Sincerely,

Dr. the Hon. Ewart F. Brown, J.P., M.P. Premier and Minister of Tourism & Transport
