The quiet winter interlude was lovely, but we’re more than ready to turn up the Vineyard volume this week. Right on cue, the calendar is filling up with live music, dance parties, and even a free tango concert.
The Ritz Cafe in Oak Bluffs re-opened this week after its winter nap. Trivia is back on Tuesdays, Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish play on Wednesdays, The Rosie Show is on for Saturdays, and more musicians such as The Black Eyed Susans and 2Boys are on the schedule as well.
After a few renovations, the P.A. Club in Oak Bluffs is open again, and resident eatery Mo’s Lunch will return to business on Thursday, March 16. The music line-up at the club this weekend includes Johnny Hoy and the Bluefish at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 10 and ESP at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 11. And mark your calendars for the Lip Sync Contest to benefit Friends of Family Planning on Saturday, March 18 at the club, starting at 7 p.m. DJ Dern will spin tunes afterwards.
Don’t forget that Daylight Saving Time returns this Sunday, March 12, at 2 a.m. More time to enjoy everything on The Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar!
On Friday, March 10, the Martha’s Vineyard Museum is turning the traditional Friday happy hour on its head with Wool & Wine: Needle-Felted Coaster and Keychains.
