Last evening, the historic town of St. George—Bermuda’s UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest continuously inhabited English-settled town in the New World—was transformed into a glowing celebration of tradition, culture, and Christmas cheer as the Bermuda National Trust hosted its annual Christmas Walkabout 2025.
Crowds numbering in the thousands filled the narrow lanes of the old town, eager to take part in one of Bermuda’s most cherished holiday events. The festivities were officially opened by his the Governor of Bermuda, Andrew Murdoch, who welcomed residents and visitors alike to an evening designed to showcase the heritage and heart of St. George.
Historic sites across the town opened their doors for the occasion, including The Old Rectory, Salvation Army Church, Pilot Darrell’s Square, the St. George’s Historical Society, and the iconic Unfinished Church, Shops on Water Street each offering guests the rare opportunity to step inside and experience centuries of Bermudian history.
Throughout the night, the streets came alive with performances from some of the island’s most talented groups. The lineup featured the Bermuda Highland Dancers, Bermuda School of Music, Bermuda Dance Academy, Jackson School of Performing Arts, InMotion School of Dance, and Vision School of Dance. Their music and movement brought warmth to the cool December air and drew applause from captivated audiences.
A bustling food court lined with vendors offered festive treats and local flavors, adding the aroma of Bermudian cuisine to the already vibrant atmosphere.
The Christmas Walkabout marks the official start of the holiday season across the island, and with its success, late-night shopping is set to continue both in St. George and throughout the City of Hamilton in the coming weeks.
