7 Sensational Edgartown Events to Attend with Friends This Summer
There is no doubt about it. Edgartown is expected to be rockin’ this summer, thanks to an amazing amount of special events. For all of us here at A-A Island Auto Rental, it was really hard to pick out just a few to highlight. But we eventually settled on the following sensational seven:
Stars + Stripes Music Festival (Airport Road)
The Fourth of July Weekend is both literally, and figuratively, going to kick off with a bang in Edgartown. They’ll be a parade, fireworks display and music festival taking place, just to name a few activities. The music festival is a charity event slated to go down on the 5th. The parade and fireworks, on the other hand, will be taking place on the 4th. No word yet on the musical lineup or the ticket prices.
Annual 91st Regatta (Dock Street)
The Edgartown Yacht Club is expected to host several great events this summer. One of them is the 91st Annual Regatta. It’s slated to begin on the 10th and run through the 12th. The event is sure to bring out some beautiful, one-design class vessels. So for some, watching the regatta is going to be just as much fun as actually participating in it. Registration information is available through the club’s website.
Annual Generations Picnic (Main Street)
Do you love a good, old-fashioned picnic? We sure do, and there is none better than the one put on each year by the Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust. Known as the Generations Picnic, it is scheduled to take place this year on the 18th. The organization always provides fabulous entertainment, family-friendly activities and plenty of opportunities to enjoy remarkable repasts prepared by area foodies. Best of all, an entire family can enjoy 2.5-hours worth of picnicking festivities for a mere $200.
