Nantucket Daffodil Festival
In-person festivities for the 2021 Daffodil Festival have been cancelled due to pandemic restrictions, but the island’s daffodils will still bloom for weeks from April into May. And you can still participate in the fun at DaffodilFestival.com, where you’ll find virtual versions of your favorite Daffy events, including a daffodil show, a pet show, a decorated car “parade,” a bike “parade,” and a hat “parade.” Dress for Daffy, take a photo, and upload it to join the fun!

Over the years the Nantucket Wine & Food Festival has blossomed into one of the nation's most celebrated wine and food events. Due to COVID-19 precautions, the 2021 festival has been cancelled.

Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival
Benefitting the Nantucket Atheneum and now in its 14th year, this spectacular week of dance will bring you live performances on an outdoor stage at Children’s Beach Bandstand. Tickets available online at nantucketatheneum.org for afternoon and evening performances on July 22, 23 and 24. Space is limited and tickets are available on a first come, first serve basis at no cost. Sponsorship opportunities and events also available.
Boston Pops on Nantucket
This year was to have been the 25th anniversary of The Boston Pops on Nantucket in support of the Nantucket Cottage Hospital. While we hoped to bring this event back to Nantucket this summer, after consulting with the Town we have made the difficult decision to postpone celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Pops to 2022. It has been a difficult 15 months for NCH and the loss of financial support from the Pops presents another real challenge. We are grateful for the support of our donors during this time.
Nantucket Cranberry Festival
Nantucket Conservation Foundation’s “Cranberry Month” will kick off on Saturday, October 9 as part of the Sustainable Nantucket Farmer’s Market, where the first batch of the 2021 cranberry harvest will be available for sale . Beginning the following week, NCF will have scheduled guided tours through the Milestone Cranberry Bog to learn about the history and current cranberry operations. A self-guided tour on site as well as the ACKTrails mobile app are also available. Special farm-to-table tours are being planned, along with special events for children.
