Sunrise to Sunset: Island Time, July 14
July 14, 2022
Whatever you do this weekend, get down to the water’s edge, go for a swim, take a boat ride, paddle a kayak. These sublime July days were made for enjoying the very thing that makes the Island an island! The sun bouncing off the water, whether a reflection at sunset or the glitter and sparkle of sunrise on gentle waves, is almost too much to take. And yet we’ll take it, knowing summer doesn’t last forever. Of course you can’t stay at the beach all day, so plan accordingly: Take a glance at other events (below) to tuck into your schedule, then find the full listing of activities on the The Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar.
The week ahead offers some great opportunities to mingle and dine in beautiful places. At 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 16, The FARM Institute hosts Meals in the Meadow, a fundraiser featuring a farm to table dinner, music and silent auction that takes place in a field with views of the Katama Plains.
