Festival of Wreaths – November 22 & 24 – 26, 2017
As a kick of to the holiday season, the festival of wreaths is an anticipated time for residents of and guests coming to Nantucket. An exquisite array of wreaths will be on display, each one handcrafted by members of the Nantucket community. Each wreath is truly a masterpiece—some traditional and others unconventional. Visitors will have the opportunity to bid on their favorite wreaths in a silent auction, with proceeds going to support the year-round efforts of the Nantucket Historical Association.

Another anticipated event for us is the month long Festival of Trees!
