Island Time, March 26-28: Virtual Vineyard

March 26, 2020

The Vineyard Gazette calendar now includes online events.

To that end, we’re sending you a different kind of Island Time this week. Instead of suggesting things to do out and about on Martha’s Vineyard, we’re encouraging everyone to stay at home and enjoy the many Island activities you can find online. We’re updating the Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar daily with internet-based classes and entertainment, and the Vineyard Gazette also has a list, refreshed daily, of what’s open and closed on the Island. And if you have any questions about what you can or cannot do under the stay-at-home restrictions, take a look at the FAQs here.

Here are a few things to consider this weekend:

Friday, March 27 | Movie time

The Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival is streaming a different family-friendly movieevery day for free.

You can take a yoga class using Zoom.

The Martha’s Vineyard Museum has put several of its exhibitions online, including One on the Line: The Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby.

Saturday, March 28 | Bid on beauty

If you missed your chance to see the group art show VIP by Land and Sea at the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse, the whole exhibition is now online, complete with artist photos and an auction where you can bid on their work.

The Ritz in Oak Bluffs is streaming live music nightly with Island performers.

Sunday, March 29 | Leave the cabin

As long as you keep at least six feet from others, it’s okay—even recommended, for mental health—to go out and enjoy the Vineyard’s natural beauty. Keep in mind that Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary in Edgartown and all of the Trustees of Reservations properties are currently closed. The Sheriff’s Meadow Foundation and Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank Commission trails remain open, with the Land Bank requesting that all dogs be kept leashed to minimize the risk of personal contact.
