Five cultural trailblazers honoured under this year’s Heritage Month theme, “For the Culture”
The upcoming Bermuda Day Parade will honour five cultural icons as this year’s Grand Marshals under the Heritage Month theme “For the Culture.”
Owen Darrell, Minister of Tourism and Transport, Culture and Sport has announced the honourees, and said while they “may come from different paths and disciplines … they are united by a shared commitment to community and cultural pride.”
Tawana Lee, Demeka “Tiny T” Tacklyn, Jules Roberts, Sonya Smith and Allan Warner (posthumously) are the individuals to be recognised.
Speaking in the House of Assembly, Minister Darrell said the Grand Marshals “epitomise this year’s theme, “For the Culture,” through the way they have preserved traditions, uplifted others, and contributed meaningfully to the cultural and sporting life of Bermuda.”
