First  day of Spring is March 20th and with that, we have so many things to look forward to on Martha’s Vineyard. Spring is the season when we all smile and take in the sun’s rays, warm for the first time in months. When we are hustling and bustling around town, getting our homes and businesses ready for the busy season. When we see friends and neighbors we haven’t seen through the winter and greet them with cheer. Overall, the feeling of happiness and joy can be felt all around the island as the bright yellow forsythia blooms and permeates the air with its sweet scent. Without further ado, here are the top spring happenings on Martha’s Vineyard that will get you even more excited for the season!
