🎖️Weekend Events: 11/8-11/11 on Martha's Vineyard
veteran's day weekend, children's film festival and a fall tour
🎖️A Weekend to Honor Veterans
There are several ways to give thanks to our community this weekend! The events are a bit light, so it’s a great time to go visit Mytoi or Felix Neck for some time in nature.
⏱️This Week on MVacay
MVacay’s Gift Guide is different because it doesn’t include affiliate links, gifted or sponsored items and it highlights businesses that are new to MV, Minority or Women-Owned. The most popular clicks this week? A stunning aerial print of a dinghy dock, a hand-sewn makeup bag, and several other handmade items were reader favorites. I even included more than 20 experiences you could gift for the person who has everything!
