Celebrate the ultimate kick off to spring on Nantucket Island! From early April to mid-May, over three million daffodils of every color, shape and size bloom on Nantucket. This blossoming is the focal point of the Annual Daffodil Festival, a weekend that has for many years represented a celebration of spring as the island stretches its arms, takes a deep breath, and awakens from its winter nap. Our elegant inn provides guests with luxury accommodations and the ideal location for easy access to all of the weekend festivities. It’s a beautiful time of year to experience Nantucket and this popular festival is a fantastic reason to book your spring getaway with us!
Nantucket is truly an all-seasons getaway destination, with summer perhaps taking the lead as the most popular time. The spring, however, holds a special place for many as it is a time where the beauty of the island really starts coming alive and the flurry of summer has yet to arrive. The Daffodil Festival, which will take place from April 26-28, 2019, brings visitors from all over to the island to experience the splendor of the island and some really fun activities!
