In 1776, John Adams wrote a letter to his wife, Abigail, informing her that the Continental Congress had declared independence from Great Britain: “[This day] ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade.”

You can catch both in downtown Edgartown today! The parade steps off at 5 p.m. and the fireworks start at dusk. Arrive early, look up to the sky and marvel at how far we’ve come and how far we have to go.

Last Friday, The African-American Heritage Trail of Martha’s Vineyard celebrated its newest site: the historic Dragonfly House on the corner of Canonicus and Seaview Avenues in Oak Bluffs.

Read about the property, which dates back to the late 1870s and was owned by a staunch abolitionist before becoming a home known for accommodating Black visitors to the Island, featured in our Fall Home & Garden 2022 issue: https://mvmagazine.com/news/2022/10/06/house-dragonfly

Fifty years ago today, Jaws was released in theaters. But if it weren’t for a rag-tag crew of Islanders, the film may never have made it to the big screen.

Read the story from the specialty publication Jaws 50 Martha's Vineyard: Commemorative Anniversary Edition here - https://mvmagazine.com/news/2025/06/20/hippies-hammers. Then hook your own copy of the magazine from the Vineyard Gazette online store - https://vineyardgazettestore.com/product/63/view - or from Island newsstands.
