What do Super Bowl Sunday, Fat Tuesday and Valentine’s Day have in common? They all take place this week.
First up, it’s the Chiefs versus the 49ers on Sunday. Las Vegas calls but if Island life is keeping you at home, there are televisions in the local bars. Plus, the opera club is meeting at 1 p.m. at the Edgartown Library for a televised performance in French of Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann. Pre-game with baritone Thomas Hampson, soprano Sonya Yoncheva and mezzo Kate Lindsey.
For Fat Tuesday, the Portuguese American Club calls as the The Jelly Roll Horns take the stage at 7 p.m. Enjoy New Orleans-style food from Mo’s.
On Wednesday, for Valentines Day, Fan Ogilvie and Justen Ahren take over the host duties at the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse for Arnie’s Poetry Cafe. Both hosts will read from their work, and audience members are invited to bring one love poem to read aloud. The evening begins at 6 p.m.
And although this has nothing to do with the big three national events of the week, the Agricultural Hall is hosting a local food community potluck on Thursday. This is the second of three community dinners this winter, and folks are encouraged to bring a dish highlighting local food. The event is from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and is preceded by a 4 p.m. screening at the West Tisbury Library of Deep Roots, Matt Taylor’s short films series about up-Island farmers.
