A large private party planned for President Obama’s 60th birthday on the Vineyard this weekend has been canceled amid fierce public backlash and rising Covid cases, as the Delta variant spreads on the Island. The party will be scaled back to family and friends, according to a statement.

The Martha’s Vineyard Airport reported a major jam-up of private jet traffic over the weekend, much of it stemming from President Barack Obama’s 60th birthday bash. Airport manager Geoffrey Freeman said private jets crowded the tarmac at the small airport all weekend, draining fuel supplies.

President Obama Martha's Vineyard vacation dinner

Despite rain showers, President Obama spent his second full day of vacation much like the first, with an afternoon on the golf course followed by an evening out with friends.

Rumor spread shortly after noon that the president was playing golf at Farm Neck, which is less then a mile from here.

The first full day of President Obama's Vineyard vacation was a quiet one, and included one of the president's favorite Vineyard pastimes: a round of golf.

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama arrived just before 4 p.m. Saturday at Martha's Vineyard Airport to begin an eight-day summer vacation, his fourth to the Island since he took office.

President Obama and his family will return to Martha’s Vineyard Saturday for a weeklong vacation, his fourth trip to the Island during his time in office.

A portion of South Road in Chilmark is slated to be closed to traffic during President Obama's visit to the Island, the Chilmark selectmen learned on Tuesday.
