Spending Thanksgiving on Martha’s Vineyard is a great idea for family and friends. If you’re coming from the mainland, it’s a great holiday to spend some time on island when it’s a bit more relaxed and calm, hotel rates are more affordable, and the overall energy of the island is tranquil and serene. 

Our local restaurants are serving up savory suppers and other Thanksgiving offerings from dine-in, to take-out, and of course desserts too! We’ve put together a delicious list of options so dig in and enjoy!
