We’re also celebrating the Island Disability Festival with several events. You also have a fun opportunity to head over to the drive-in to watch Jaws on the big screen!

Happenings
We learned that Stella Salumeria in Oak Bluffs is now open for takeaway. You’ve probably noticed some demolition next to Stop + Shop in Vineyard Haven - they are taking the building down next to it (used as a warehouse) because of safety concerns. Edgartown Stop+Shop will also be renovated and expanded by Spring 2023. S+S Kitchenette will start hosting weekly themed chef-dinners every Wednesday for the rest of the summer (this week is Greek!)
