Bermuda Billfish Tournament.
An annual Non-Mariners race, usually first Sunday after Cup Match at Mangrove Bay, Somerset, Sandys Parish. First began in August 1964 in Hamilton, Bermuda by amateur non-sailors deliberately launching non-seaworthy and distinctly non-nautical home-made floating in often hilarious unsea-worthy crafts of any type and design as a joke against the well-established and prim sailing clubs of Bermuda and their 1960s sailing correctness. It has been claimed, but this is incorrect on two counts, that a drunken bunch of men were involved. In fact, they were not solely men, single women were instigators too, driven by the maleness-only of the more established sailors. Nor were the majority drunk, they were sober, just mischievous, boat-less themselves. Their unorthodox "vessels" were cranked by hand or by pedals or by the wind and were often accompanied by raucous noises, providing much amusement to many residents and visitors at the annual event which became hugely popular. After one such event had a zany entry almost collide with a cruise ship entering Hamilton Harbor, the Society of Non-Mariners, as the organizers subsequently became, the event was switched to the less-busy but picturesque Mangrove May, hosted by the Sandys Boat Club (but not mentioned by date, time or photos of previous year on its website). The event now includes family frolics, youngsters jumping off "boats" and rocks, mock boat battles, some ingenious unorganized surprises. A fun day for residents and visitors except that on that July 31, 2011 day a number of people who swam nearby were affected by jelly fish larva.

139th anniversary of Emancipation Day

Public Holidays. An
annual favourite Bermuda event between these two teams, steeped in tradition and
history (since 1902). Non-cricket players will also find this well worth
seeing. Bermuda's leading attraction by far among locals, with plenty of
food, music, an occasion for fashionable clothing, revelry and fun. Cricketers
are officially the main attraction, with cash prizes for spectacular plays amid
thunderous cheers from the crowd and much bravado from the players. The uniquely
Bermudian gambling game of Crown and Anchor is much in evidence in the
carnival-like atmosphere. Expect heavy road traffic to and from the event.
