Tashmoo Picnic

On Monday, May 31 the town of Tisbury hosts the annual Memorial Day picnic at the Tashmoo Water Works off Spring street and State Road in Vineyard Haven. This event is open to all from 12 to 4 p.m. and is accessible by bus.

There will be music from the Flying Elbows and Tristan Israel, row boating on the pond assisted by lifeguards and members of the high school sailing team, pony rides, games, and free ice cream. Bring your own picnic, grills are provided. Cronig’s provides some hot dogs, Stop and Shop provides watermelon, the Toy Box helps with prizes for the children’s games, and this year, the Martha’s Vineyard Cultural Council has helped with the cost of the music.
