Food, Festivals, and Spring Fun on Nantucket

Now that we’ve turned the clocks ahead, it’s time to celebrate food, festivals, and fun on Nantucket. Spring brings with it the promise of summer to follow. But there is much to celebrate in April, May, and early June. Daffodils will brighten our April. In May, we look forward to the Nantucket Food and Wine Festival and the infamous Figawi race weekend. But in June, we turn a little bit more scholarly with the Nantucket Book Festival and the Nantucket Film Festival.

Spring on an island resting 30 miles out to sea brings a flurry of activity. There are gardens to tend, bike paths to pedal, and miles of beaches to wander. Our spring festivals attract thousands annually. In fact, we welcome guests from around the globe to our bed and breakfast just north of Main Street to celebrate with us. And many of them return year after year, a tribute to our true island hospitality.

Plan ahead to join us May 26-29, 2023, for Memorial Day weekend. Heralded as the official start of summer on Nantucket, you can feel the excitement in the air as guests arrive by ferry and the streets fill with laughter and merriment. And join us for any or all of our well-loved annual spring events held on our island paradise.
