As the island comes to life in April, we have to say goodbye for the season to some in October. October brings one last hurrah to the island before some of the island’s favorite packs it away for a winter of catching up on sleep and planning to do it all over again.

Halloween is every kids favorite holiday and on Nantucket it’s no different! The kids of Nantucket gather on Main Street for an afternoon of trick-or-treating and holiday fun. Businesses in town give away candy to kids trick-or-treating and there is a parade to show off everyone’s costumes!
