Among the
many activities that vistors to Nantucket enjoy, two of the most popular are the
Nantucket Wine Festival and the
Nantucket Film Festival.
The
Nantucket Wine Festival, typically held in the middle of May, is a
multi-faceted exploration of food and wine emphasizing Nantucket's historic celebration of all things gastronomic. For the eleventh year, Nantucket Island becomes host to over 100 wineries of international acclaim. Sip wine in grand homes and dine in Nantucket's world-class restaurants.
Following the wine festival, the
Nantucket Film Festival is renowned for its eschewing of Hollywood glamour, and its focus on the substantive art of screen writing. Celebrities such as Jim Carrey, Heather Graham, Sharon Stone, and many others have been known to frequent the island and be seen in the scene!
