The best things to do in Martha's Vineyard

“Craving a fresh piece with that Vineyard maritime mood, finely crafted glass, or a classic from Ray Ellis’s legacy? North Water Gallery is a reliable fix, so swing through this week for contemporary and traditional works that feel right at home on-island, plus concierge help with installs and storage.”

“Need a midweek plan that isn’t your couch? Edgartown Cinemas is rolling a fresh lineup this week of new releases and the occasional classic, so you can catch the buzzy stuff everyone’s talking about or lean into nostalgia with a proper big screen rewatch.”
