Depths of January

January 22, 2026

It’s January, so cold weather and snow are inevitable. The Island, however offers plenty of events to keep the winter blues at bay.

Dine in or take out at the Good Shepherd Parish Community Supper on Thursday.

Also on Thursday, enjoy a Prime Rib Night at the Black Dog Tavern.

Step aboard a 19th-century whaleship through the pages of a logbook on Friday at the MV Museum.

For Island writers, learn how to demystify literary journal submissions on Saturday at Featherstone.

Also on Saturday, create a vision board for 2026 at the Edgartown Library, or join writer Don Hinkle at the Oak Bluffs Library, speaking about his lifelong career and misadventures.
