WVVY 93.7 LPFM Community Radio and the Mediterranean restaurant have announced the first annual Halloween Hellraiser, a party to be held at Mediterranean in Oak Bluffs, off Seaview avenue, on Halloween night. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. With music from the Gypsy Sound System and featured WVVY deejays, a buffet dinner, and a costume contest with a $500 first place prize, this may be the go-to party for Halloween night, as well as a great opportunity to help support community radio on Martha’s Vineyard.

If you can follow the zigzag path of the second annual Massachusetts Poetry Festival, you could probably make it off the quixotic island featured in the television show Lost without breaking a sweat.
