Downtown Vineyard Haven’s monthly First Friday event ballooned into a three-day Christmas party over the weekend, complete with two tree lightings and two visits from Santa Claus.

Over 300 families will have gifts under the tree this year thanks to the work of the Red Stocking Fund.

This year’s holiday gift show at Featherstone Center for the Arts is its largest ever, with 120 artists participating in the annual event.

Santa visits Oak Bluffs this Saturday to help the town celebrate the beginning of the holiday season.

After the tinsel and lights have been put back into storage, Christmas trees on the Island are getting a second calling.

Evergreens adorned with twinkling lights, fragrant pine wreaths and festive shop window displays on Edgartown’s Main street are a sure sign of only one thing: Christmas in Edgartown has arrived. 

Wampum jewelry, children’s art, pottery, headwear, and handicrafts filled Aquinnah town hall this weekend for the 4th Annual Aquinnah Artisans Holiday Fair.

The tree in Healey Square will be lit at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26 with the holiday lights going on in Ocean Park simultaneously. Santa will make an appearance at the tree lighting, arriving by fire truck.
