Monday Essentials: What to Know This Week on the Vineyard

Five tips for the week ahead on Martha's Vineyard. We also bring you Five Things daily, Tuesday through Friday, plus the Weekend Agenda and our ever-expanding daily Events Calendar. You can also sign up for email updates.





  1. Monday night, get closer to nature and your loved ones at the Not-so-Creepy Creatures of the Night Family Hike at Long Point Wildlife Refuge. Hosted by Trustees of Reservations: 7 p.m., $10 per member child/$12 non-member child; two adults free with each child admission.
  2. Tuesday, poet Nathalie Handel is the 7 p.m. headliner at the Pathways & Featherstone Summer Festival of Poetry, which begins at 6 p.m. with music and refreshments at Featherstone Center for the Arts in Oak Bluffs. $20.
  3. We hate to say it, but Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon is the last midweek West Tisbury Farmers Market of 2013. (The Saturday market continues through Oct. 5.) 
  4. Another last chance: Thursday is the final night of the season for fresh, family-friendly improv comedy in the air-conditioned cabaret environment of Alex's Place at the YIMPers and WIMP Comedy Improv kicks off at 8 p.m. with up-and-coming youth comics. $11-$15.
  5. With the Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby less than a month away, the Martha's Vineyard Museum opens a new exhibition Friday called "One on the Line," tracing the event from its 1946 foundation. 
For more things to do on Martha's Vineyard this week, please see our Events calendar. You can post your own events there any time for free.
