Last on our list, this event takes us over to one of our island communities, Martha's Vineyard.TheGrand IlluminationNight in Oak Bluffs happens every year, drawing in thousands of locals and visitors to the already famous "gingerbread cottages". It has been a tradition for the islanders for over 150 years. Every third Wednesday in August, the cottages are decorated by their owners with Chinese and Japanese-style paper lanterns and other decorations creating an almost fairytale-like scene right out of a storybook. With live music and a community sing-along at the beginning of the festival, this is truly a great event that the whole family can enjoy! These are only but a few festivals and events that take place here on Cape Cod. With its long and rich history, you will find that there is always something going on on Cape Cod. Exploring the cape on your own can sometimes lead to finding hidden gems and events that turn into new traditions too.
