About Holidays on the Vineyard

An independent guide to the holiday season on Martha's Vineyard, from Thanksgiving weekend to New Year's.

Who makes it

Holidays on the Vineyard is made by a family that comes to the island every year for the holidays. It started as a planner for Christmas in Edgartown, at edgartownchristmas.com, and grew to cover Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven too.

The guide is not affiliated with any town, chamber of commerce, board of trade or event organizer.

Where the listings come from

Events are gathered from the organizers' own pages: the Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce holiday page, the official Christmas in Edgartown schedule, and the Vineyard Gazette community calendar. Each event page links to its source.

Listings are rechecked against those sources twice a day, and each page shows when it was last checked. Organizers change plans, so confirm the details with the official listing before you go.

Notes about past years come from local news coverage in the Vineyard Gazette and the MV Times, and are labeled with the year.

Corrections and contact

If a listing is wrong or out of date, send a correction. To add an event, submit it here. For anything else, get in touch.

How it's paid for

The guide is free and has no ads. It is supported by sales of a Martha's Vineyard desk calendar and notecards made by the same family.
