Prior to 2017, Bermuda Day was observed on May 24th. Legislation, which was tabled in January 2020, moved the Bermuda Day holiday from the last Friday in May to the Friday before the final Monday of May. Bermuda Day was originally Victoria Day, Empire Day, Commonwealth Day and Heritage Day. Originally Empire Day, the holiday started as a celebration of Queen Victoria’s birthday, evolved into the May 24 holiday and was renamed Bermuda Day in 1979.
