Comings and Goings: Island Time, February 24

Comings and Goings: Island Time, February 24

February 24, 2022
Two ferries passing in the night (or day) – that will be us next week. Some of you will be heading off-Island for the school vacation week, and some of you will be traveling over here from the mainland (smart move!) to enjoy a peaceful visit. The Island will be your oyster with wide-open trails and beaches to explore, restaurants to enjoy, and Island artists to discover. (Don’t miss the two Thomas Hart Benton panels which are on temporary display at The Granary Gallery.) Those of you staying on Island with the kids can look forward to some special activities, including a 50-percent-off admission price to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum next week.
Whatever your plans, be sure to check out The Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar for more things to do. And if you’re looking for a place to eat or wondering what shops and markets are open, take a look at What’s Open Martha’s Vineyard.
