| 6:30 PM | A Taste of the Vineyard Gourmet Stroll
To benefit the Martha's Vineyard Preservation Trust. The island's finest restaurants, caterers and beverage purveyors can all be found in the same place at the same time for this one night only. This is your chance to sample the Vineyard's best food, wine and hand-crafted beers as you catch up with old friends after a long, cold winter. After you've been sated with a "Taste" from more than 70 outstanding fine food and beverage participants, you can dance off all those calories with the hottest band around - Jerry Bennett and the Sultans of Swing. And for great memories of the evening, photographer Joe Mikos will be there with his famous couch and "Shoot Yourself" camera. Your photos are available for purchase online the very next day! Tickets to the "Taste" on on sale May 1. Don't wait or hesitate - tickets are limited and it's always a sell-out!
