The Week Ahead: Friday, September 30 through Thursday, October 6, 2016

September 30, 2016

Welcome to October!  The old month ends and the new one begins in the Week Ahead with the hugely popular Living Local Harvest Festival – taking place as the Island gradually settles back into its roots as a community of farmers and fisherman. Just about the same time, the Annual Manahattan Short Film Festival allows Island film lovers to join with like-minded folks from around the globe. The week continues with theater, art and other opportunities for the Island community to come together as autumn encroaches. Enjoy the Week Ahead!
