Demonstration Alert – U.S. Embassy, Bridgetown (May 10, 2025)  

 

Location:  Wildey Main Road near U.S. Embassy, Bridgetown  

 

Event: The U.S. Embassy is aware of a planned demonstration to be held on Wildey Road, near the Embassy on Saturday, May 10, at 10am. The Embassy is closed for regular business on the weekends. While the demonstration is expected to be peaceful, Barbados Police will be present for the duration of the protest. U.S. citizens in the area should be aware of the potential for disruption. This notice serves to alert the community and remind everyone to practice good personal security when encountering large crowds.   

 

Due to Embassy Bridgetown’s location within the private Wildey Business Park, protests are not legally permitted immediately adjacent to the front of the embassy. Historically, protesters have gathered on the sidewalks along Wildey Road, approximately 380 feet west of the Embassy’s main entrance.    

 

Actions to Take:  

  • Avoid the areas of the demonstrations.  
  • Exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests.  
  • Monitor local media for updates.  
  • Be aware of your surroundings.  
  • Keep a low profile.
