We know that many of you are appreciating Martha’s Vineyard from afar and are missing the Island more than ever. We’re hopeful we’ll get to welcome back more visitors this year and that you’ll be among them. We realize that Martha’s Vineyard is an especially meaningful place and we want you to know that the Island misses you as much as you miss it! In the meantime we've rounded up a list of virtual Martha’s Vineyard happenings that are open to anyone near and far, in efforts to help you stay connected to Martha’s Vineyard while you can’t be here.
