The back-to-back storms in the last two weeks made the return of sunshine welcome this week. The Fall Equinox arrived on Saturday, the Harvest Moon will shine brightly tomorrow night, and as the calendar turns a page from September to October, we’re all looking for opportunities to be outdoors before cozy hibernation season sets in. Read on to discover more ideas for the week ahead, and find much more to do on The Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar.
Enjoy the seasonal shift by celebrating this month’s Full Moon Wonder at Long Point Wildlife Refuge tonight, Thursday, Sept. 28. Staff from The Trustees of Reservations will lead a hike through grasslands, forest and a barrier beach before greeting the moonrise with s’mores and popcorn. Reservations suggested!
Here’s a hands-on class for everyone interested in eating — and catching — more local food.
