This weekend features one of the most celebrated events on Martha’s Vineyard  - The West Tisbury Agricultural Fair. It’s the real deal from top to bottom with ribbons given for the best goat, the most beautiful quilts and the biggest tomato…and everything in between. There are tons of animals on display, and non-profits and businesses from around the island have booths with information and fun activities. Live music blasts for 4 straight days and the pig races are NOT to be missed.

Did we mention the rides? Roller Coasters, carousels, a ferris wheel and the salt and pepper shaker keep everyone busy. And, don’t forget the food: fried dough, ice cream from a local preschool, hot dogs, burgers made by the island fireman - you name it, they’ve got it.

We love the fair because it celebrates the green of the island, from sustainable local farms to community supported agriculture to conservation to alternative energy sources. There are recycle buckets located next to every trash can that are bigger, brighter and full of information. The mission of the fair, besides the fun, is to celebrate our deep connection, respect and gratitude for agriculture and the land.

Sound fun? Come next summer…the fair is always in late August, capping off the summer season in our little slice of paradise. We’d love to meet you!
