Pepperoni Disco
Family Dance-o-Ramas are back at the new Flatbread Pizza restaurant at Nectar’s (formerly Outerland).
Wednesday is the first of these weekly all-age discos, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. Flatbread’s family-friendly, wood-fired pizza and dinner menu will be available and the bar is open for mom and dad.
Former Outerland co-owner Mona Rosenthal (Deejay Shizz) will be spinning nonstop dance tunes as disco lighting and bubbles play on the dancefloor.
Street Fair Rocks the Block
There will be more than just dancing in the streets at the Tisbury Street Fair this Thursday night. Pedestrians may rule the way, but fun is the true king as vendors open up their doors. Food, face painting, food, crafts. food, prizes, and some more food. It’s a family free-for-all that celebrates the town’s founding. Most of the proceeds go to Island causes.
The festivities kick off at 6:30 p.m. on Main street in Vineyard Haven.
From the “oohs” and “ahhs” at the Agricultural Hall, you might have thought that the fair came early this year. Instead, about 100 youngsters were there for a close-up display of prestidigitation — that’s quick fingers — by Scott Jameson, the Martha’s Vineyard Library Association’s kickoff event for the summer reading program.
