Betsy Bay Homecoming

This annual homecoming event is held every Easter targeting descendants who have never been to the island or have not visited for a very long time. The celebration is geared towards bringing descendants, residents and friends of Betsy Bay together to "build on the legacy of their forefathers." It takes place on the Betsy Bay School grounds and begins with a church service on Friday, followed by a cook-out. Saturday features an early morning street march and a deep-sea fishing tournament during the day. On Sunday, there is a church service. Monday is a family fun day that includes games, a gospel concert, and local food and drinks for sale.
