Island Time, March 5-8: Spring Ahead!
March 5, 2020
We set our clocks ahead this weekend and the equinox is less than two weeks away. But on Martha’s Vineyard, spring is already stirring. Crocus and daffodil buds are peeking out of the soil, the red-winged blackbirds are back and all the songbirds are making music in the trees. Humans, too, are making music, along with dance, food and other Island experiences. You can find everything that’s happening in the Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar—here are some highlights:
