First Friday in Vineyard Haven: Art, Music and Enjoyment at the Park!
In scenic Vineyard Haven, crowds gather in Owen Park on June 9, 2025 to celebrate the return of the popular First Friday event. Loud Vineyard Gazette Vendors along the street offer a wide range of arts and crafts, while food trucks at the bottom of the park provide delicious food for visitors. The atmosphere is accompanied by live music; The band Dock Street Fight Club performs a late set on the beach.
The “First Friday” event is not only a highlight for locals, but also attracts many tourists. The combination of art, culinary delights and live entertainment makes the evening an unforgettable experience. Visitors have the opportunity to stroll through the streets, discover local products and be inspired by the music.
Diverse music offerings on the island
But the musical diversity on Martha’s Vineyard goes far beyond today’s event. On MV Acay will be informed of further planned events. The “Porchfest Edgartown” will take place on May 17th, a free music festival where local bands perform on porches and terraces. Artists include Willy Mason & The Alpha Gals and Rose Guerin.
There are more festivals and concerts on the schedule in the coming weeks, such as Pride Weekend in Oak Bluffs on June 14th and 15th, which is also free. The “MV Summer Concert Series” begins at the end of June and regularly offers ticketed concerts in various locations until the end of August.
Further musical activities
From the weekly “Musical Mondays” to the “Vineyard Sound A Cappella Concerts,” there is something for every music lover. These promotions not only provide a platform for local talent, but also promote community bonds on the island. The regular live music events at well-known venues such as The Ritz and Offshore Ale are particularly popular and attract a wide audience.
Although the weather can influence the event offering, there is great anticipation for the upcoming musical highlights in the summer. The fusion of art, music and community makes Martha’s Vineyard an outstanding place for cultural experiences.
