Nantucket Daffodil Festival

The island of Nantucket spends a whole weekend celebrating the beautiful symbol of spring, the daffodil! "The 40th Annual Nantucket Daffodil Festival Weekend is April 27 - April 29 this year. "Celebrating the 40th". What started out as a simple celebration 40 years ago is now a weekend long celebration. The Daffodil Festival on Nantucket now includes art shows, tours, parades (including the antique car parade and tailgate picnic), exhibitions, contests, lectures, and, of course, the annual Nantucket Daffodil Flower Show. There are activities for all ages, and faithful festival-goers dress up for the occasion and participate enthusiastically! There is a Daffy Hat Contest, a Children's Parade featuring decorated bikes, strollers, wagons, and other self-propelled vehicles. The Pine Woods Morris Dancers often perform throughout the day at various locations.
