For the second year, Anne-Marie Eddy and Sarka have organized the most fun night of Christmas shopping on Martha’s Vineyard, the Ladies Holiday Night, a night of shopping, eating, and socializing. The ladies have gotten together a great group of Vineyard artists for a night of joy, pampering and shopping. This year the event will b...

It’s beginning to feel a lot like…..Christmas in Edgartown! And that means it’s going to be time for the Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite. The wait has almost been, unBEARable! The hundreds of bears are taking a break from hibernation to head over to their home for the holidays, Suite 201, at the Harbor View Hotel. Celebrating it...

One of the bummers of the Summer coming to an end is that the West Tisbury Farmer’s Market is no longer around to enrich our Saturday mornings. However, we now have the West Tisbury Winter Farmer’s Market at the Ag Hall. It’s an abundance of Island grown meat, produce and other goods. The Ag Hall is transformed into a room ful...

In late October, MV Wine and Spirits opened its doors. Located next to Flatbread by the Martha’s Vineyard Airport, this location is a game changer for a lot of Island residents. Brion and Brion Sr. McGroarty from Town Provisions in downtown Edgartown closed that location and opened their brand new package store, MV Wine and Spirits...

Twenty years later, and the Island is still celebrating the raising of the new Ag Hall in West Tisbury and the community that helped build it with the Barn Raisers’ Ball. Ten years after moving to Martha’s Vineyard, I went to my first Barn Raisers’ Ball. I know, I too can’t believe I had never gone before. I guess I always felt a b...

Last year, I wrote about the Scarecrow Festival, the annual Halloween fundraiser hosted by and for the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School. It was great to be able to learn more about the event and of course check out a number of the great scarecrows that were made. This year, the theme for the scarecrows is music.  A...

On a chilly night, late October, 12 of us gathered in Mini Park on Main Street, Edgartown. There we were met by Karen Altieri and Gary Cook, two of the Island’s foremost ghost experts, for our Vineyard Ghost Walking Tour of Edgartown. Town was quiet, since it was a Tuesday, and the sky was black, and clear with a bright moon. ...

This year’s Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival was a huge hit with locals and visitors alike. Every event was sold out! Talk about making a comeback! I went to Fresh Off the Farm, the kick-off event to the weekend festival. This local food feast was a lot of fun, and I was able to try some really different foods. Though I h...

Six wild food events with locations around the world. Places like Punkaharju, Finland, Bozel, France, Eastbourne, New Zealand, and here on Martha’s Vineyard. Just being one of six exotic places (well exotic for me) is cool, but throw in creative cuisine, sometimes unbelievable dishes made with local food by chefs and people wh...
