The summer is just flying by…I’m so excited that the 4th of July is this weekend! There’s always so much to do on the Vineyard to celebrate our country…

• If you live in New York City, you have to check this out. For the weekend of the fourth only, the New England Fast Ferry is running a boat from the City to the Vineyard. It departs on July 2 and returns on July 5.
• Check out the clam bake in Menemsha if you’re up-island – hang out on the beach and enjoy great food from the Homeport restaurant. There’s usually some good music going on as well. Very kid friendly!
• Of course, there are always the fantastic parade and fireworks in Edgartown! (and a barbecue at the Old Whaling Church)

We still have some great vacation rentals available all over the island…there’s nothing like a last minute adventure to Martha’s Vineyard – and your very own cookout complete with fresh island lobster, maybe a raw bar, greens and roasted potatoes from a local farm stand. Don’t forget the sparklers!
