🎲 Weekend Update: 4/12-4/14 - Events on Martha's Vineyard

Apr 11, 2024

The weather apps tricked us all last weekend, so hopefully this week’s forecast is more accurate. We’ve got a rainy Friday on tap, then easing off to just cloudy for the weekend. Temperatures will be mild, in the 50s, with winds gradually calming as we go.

🦐 Roundup: Seafood Restaurants of Martha's Vineyard - I took a stab at an answer to the question “Where should I go for seafood?” and made a little matrix of sorts - breaking down my recommendations by town and vibe. You can comment on my IG post if you disagree! (TBH, I disagreed with myself many times when writing it so I feel ya).
📅 Save the Date: Martha's Vineyard Big Events 2024! - I added 20+ events to this over the last week and added a new graphic to the post. Feel free to reference this as I will continue to add to it over the next few weeks. They will also stay updated in MVacay’s Events mobile app!
