“Daffy (the Daffodil Festival) is hands down my favorite festival. The island is beautiful, covered in daffodils, and emerging after the rainy March month. The island starts to become alive. The antique car parade is an event like no other and seeing over 100 cars line vertically along the cobblestones of Main St. is a colorful and playful happening. And then there is the tailgating in Sconset with elaborately decorated displays of food and themes. The weekend isn't complete without a visit to Bartlett's to see the Flower Show. Never have I seen so many different varieties of daffodils.”

“One of my favorite holidays on Nantucket is Christmas Stroll because the stores decorate so beautifully and the tree-lined Main Street looks like something out of a vintage painting. Also Santa pays a visit and it brings a smile to the faces of so many children.”
