The Flag Invasion event will be held on Friday, June 14th, at Fort St. Catherine. A spokesperson said, “This Friday, June 14th, fifteen renowned entertainers will take to the stage for what promises to be an incredible evening to remember.
Taking place at the historic Fort St. Catherine in St. George’s, seven time ‘Best of Bermuda’ award winner, DJ Rusty G, presents the ninth annual Flag Invasion.
“Originally launched in 2015 by Russell GriMith and Jason Sukdeo, Flag Invasion started oM as a soca event at the Docksiders Pub and Restaurant and by the second year, it had expanded to include two stages – soca and dancehall/reggae. The two-in-one event was the first of its kind for Bermuda, moving to Pier Six as it grew to a three-stage event and ultimately expanding to a full sunset festival at its current staple location of Fort St. Catherine.
“Until now, Flag Invasion always took place on the third Saturday of the month of May, typically a week before the Bermuda Day holiday. However, over the past few years, with the restructure of the Carnival in Bermuda weekend, Carnival Friday was lacking a signature Soca-focussed event. Rusty G plans to close that gap.
“In the past, the Five Star Friday event was essentially the oMicial start to Carnival Weekend here in Bermuda. With that no longer happening, it seemed like a soca element was missing on the Friday evening, so I decided to take a chance on moving Flag Invasion to Carnival Friday. It just made sense.
’, sai.
