This Week on the Island

One email, Thursdays in season. What opened, what closed, who's playing where this weekend, which boat to catch, and the one thing we'd actually do with a Saturday on the island. Written by us, not assembled by a robot from press releases.

What's actually in it

A typical Thursday issue: the weekend's live music rundown, what opened or closed this week, one thing worth booking before it sells out, the weather and boat outlook for the weekend, and one short editorial pick — a beach, a dish, a walk — chosen like we'd choose for a friend arriving Friday. Two minutes to read on the ferry, which is where most people read it.

The fine print

Weekly on Thursdays from late spring through early fall; monthly-ish in the off-season, because the island itself goes monthly-ish. No spam, no selling your address, unsubscribe anytime. Sponsored slots in the newsletter are labeled, same as everywhere else on this site.
