The Island celebrates the arts.

Our own Kate Taylor was interviewed on MVYRadio this past Monday in anticipation of her new album and upcoming concert on Martha's Vineyard!

I am missing two of my turkeys: Hopsy and Broken Wing. If you see them, please call me.

All our kids come home!

As in last year's Covid restrictions, there will not be an official Fourth of July parade or fireworks this year.

American Legion Post 257 has brought back their famous lobster roll and clam chowder dinners. The menu is available very Tuesday night through August at the Legion post on Martin Road. Eat in or take out between 4:30 and 7 pm.

Last year, Juneteenth was declared a Massachusetts state holiday. This will be our second year celebrating a most memorable day in our history as an official holiday.

First Fridays are back in Vineyard Haven. On the first Friday of every month you may stroll, shop, eat, visit our art galleries and hear music downtown.

Please don’t say “Happy Memorial Day.” It is a weekend for reflection and thanks for our service men and women who have lost their lives in service to us.
