After a weekend long July Fourth celebration, the party continued in Vineyard Haven last Thursday night to celebrate Tisbury’s 339th birthday at the annual Tisbury street fair. It was all food, games, music and dance as families packed Main street to enjoy a night out of fun.

Gary Sylvia was standing next to Tisbury engine number 13 at the head of Main street, helping to sell T-shirts to raise money for the fire department as well as troops overseas through the Red Shirt Friday fund.

When Vineyard Haven throws itself a birthday party, everybody’s invited.

And when the birthday party comes in the form of the annual Tisbury Street Fair, nothing stands in the way of a good time — not even inclement weather.

Tisbury is getting old, but still looks as good as ever.

On Sunday, July 8 the town will celebrate its 341st birthday with a street fair, an annual tradition established in 1971.

Revelers will throng to Main street in Vineyard Haven starting at 6 p.m. for food, games, music, dunking booths, pony rides and a climbing wall.

Simply put, there will be the Vineyard, in all its summer glory, in one place, at one time.
