ST. GEORGE’S SEAFOOD FESTIVAL

FOR A TRUE TASTE OF BERMUDA, DON’T MISS THIS CULINARY CELEBRATION.

IN SEPTEMBER, Bermuda’s celebrated seafood is highlighted at a festival set amongst the island’s historical gems in the Town of St. George.

The island has a vibrant fisheries industry and a voracious appetite for fresh catch that is a huge draw for both locals and visitors. Fish caught in local waters include wahoo, tuna, rockfish, bonita, amberjack, and red hind, as well as native Guinea chicks and Bermuda’s spiny lobster, which is seasonal from September 1 to March 31 and is one of the island’s most coveted meals.

The St. George’s Seafood Festival, which hosted its inaugural event in 2022, turns the spotlight onto Bermuda’s seafood and the island’s talented chefs delivering the freshest and delicious cuisine, whether spiced in a taco, baked up in a pie, stacked on freshly baked raisin bread, or deep fried to crunchy perfection and perfectly seasoned. During the 2022 event, the best of the best seafood chefs included St. David’s Seafood, Munchies by the Sea, Sensational Delights, and MP Chefs.

The festival takes place on Ordnance Island with

St. George’s Harbour as a backdrop and, along with highlighting over a dozen vendors, also features live entertainment from local singers, DJs, and bands, to add a dose of island flavour to the festivities.
