This year, the Agricultural Show celebrates its 80th anniversary! Since 1930, the Ag Show (as known lovingly by locals) has hosted Bermuda’s best poultry, horses and other livestock, as well as locally grown fruits, vegetables and plants. The Ag Show has always been a wonderful platform for talented locals show-off their skills in woodworking, floral arranging, kite-making, baking and model garden crafting. Locals and visitors have always flocked to the annual show to take in the exhibitions and competitions, see which entries came out on top and of course, to taste and sample the delicious foods on offer from local vendors.
This year’s show will take place April 11th, 12th and 13th. Here’s what you need to know before you attend:
1. The 2019 Agricultural Show will take place from April 11 – 13 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
