HAVE A QUESTION?

Have a Question?

Martha’s Vineyard has several notable mid-century modern houses built by recognized architects at a time when the island, and especially "up-island", was transitioning from a mostly agricultural community to a summer home destination.  

A very welcome relief from the doldrums of winter is The Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival which comes around again this weekend. In its 17th year the Festival has evolved to become one of the highlights of the Vineyard calendar and by the looks of this weekend’s schedule we have some treats in store!

A vibrant contributor to Martha's Vineyard's winter social scene, is the Vineyard Haven Playhouse, which thankfully continues to entertain the islands year round residents through the off season. Here's as snippet of what February has to offer:

It’s no wonder people love spending the holidays here on Martha’s Vineyard.

It's officially winter and Pathways is back at the Chilmark Tavern. We wrote about this cool Arts Collective here last year, and its back to get us through the next few months with more fun events.

Things are starting to get a little spooky around the Vineyard. There are signs of Halloween everywhere, from the jumbo bags of candy at Cronigs to the scarecrows popping up in front of Island businesses. An annual Halloween fund raising initiative by the MV Charter School, parents and children are asked to fashion a story book themed scarecrow, which local businesses sponsor to be displayed outside their premises.

October brings sweater weather! The leaves are turning and its feeling a little brisker out there. But when the sun shines it’s still really lovely and temperatures are lingering in the mid 60’s.

It's the final week to catch The Second Girl by Irish playwright Ronan Noone, at the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse in Vineyard Haven.

At 12:01 this morning when most of us were sleeping, the much anticipated Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby kicked off over the island. Now in its 71st year, the Derby brings island sports fishermen, women and children together to compete in the categories of bluefish, bonito, albacore and bass caught from both shore and boat. An array of prizes will be awarded over the next month, including the grand prizes of an Eastern 22 foot bass boat, engine and trailer and a Chevy truck.

Hillary Clinton was on Martha’s Vineyard this past weekend attending several fundraising events.  On Saturday afternoon guests and supporters of Hillary’s campaign for President, gathered at the Edgartown home of Frank and Carol Biondi.  Tea Lane owners, Abby Rabinovitz and Leslie Pearlson were there to witness Hillary speak and Leslie remarked at how Tea Lane Founder Eleanor Pearlson would have so loved to have been there:
