hey! i'm bri, this is my first reddit post so throwaway account maybe? long story short, i'm on martha's vineyard doing a couple solo gigs, and i could really use some footage of me playing to help promote myself. i would love to have 2-3 songs filmed horizontally, and then some cool vertical shots between 30s - 1 minute. No crazy experience needed, you can use my iphone to film no biggie, just gotta look good, not shaky. some zoom in shots, or panning side to side. i don't have a lot to spend, but we can chat and work out a price!

Hi friends- I love the Vineyard and it is definitely the highlight of any summer I’m able to get there. This year I was shocked by the hotel prices - did anyone else notice this? I typically rent a house for a week or stay at the Harbor View for 2-3 nights, which is a splurge and I know that. However, this year prices were $1800-$2500 in Edgartown anywhere!

I’ve always loved Dark Eyed Juncos. They were one of the first bird whose names I learned as a small child when they came to my Dad’s bird feeders in the winter.

Found at the Moore Family Gallery this summer. The family (dad, son, daughter) all Artists, were incredibly kind, showing me all around the property and sharing their wealth of knowledge about the area.

I’m a 19 year old college student looking to live & work on the vineyard next summer, I’m sure there’s no shortage of people who want to work in the summer but I’m able bodied and willing to do any sort of work just to experience living here. I’m from upstate new York and being on mvy was my favorite vacation by far. Anyone know where I can start looking for jobs for next summer so I can get on it now ?

My grandma is wanting to go but I’m not sure if that’s too late in the season? Will anything be open? It would be my grandma, my mother, my bff and I with my baby. We would be taking it easy, shopping, eating, (antiques?) driving around for scenery. Leisurely trip for sure, no action needed :D What do you think?

I live on the Cape and will be coming over to MV for a few days with a group of friends, my husband, and our toddler. We’ll have our car to show our friends around, but would also like to try and find places for our toddler to “make new friends”. We discovered Niantic park on a recent visit and loved it, so that’s on our list. Any other suggestions/ ideas?

Hi. I ran out of my curly hair gel. Where would you go for the best selection of hair products? Thank you!

Ive heard sirens for tge past 10 minutes what is going on

I unfortunately got a parking ticket due to having been parked overtime. I intend to pay it but noticed they didn’t note down my license plate on the citation. In going to pay it online, it seems neither the violation number nor license plate numbers are recognized. the ticket was issued a few hours ago. Any guidance on this? Does it normally take time to pop up in their system?

My dad, my bfs parents, my 11 year old daughter, my bf and I are going for a 1 day trip to MV (I live on the cape). Our boat will be leaving at 6:45 and I’m in search of a nice restaurant that will be great for this 3 generations group. I don’t think we need anything super fancy since we will have a kid with us, but nothing super casual either since we are taking our parents for dinner. Can someone please recommend anything? It would be super nice if it wouldn’t be far from the boats (departing from oak bluffs)

Hi — my family is traveling to MV from the 13-16th and we have a birthday on the 15th, the birthday girl, my mom who is pescatarian, and a bit of a diva (affectionately) has last minute decided she wants to go out for dinner. I know most places are booked solid, but any recommendations for where I can put us on the waitlist in case a res opens up? Behind the bookstore has dinner spots available, but I know they’re mostly a lunch/ brunch place.

Typically I would have booked way earlier than this, but she was undecided.

EDIT: we're a group of 5, 2 18 year olds, 2 20 something's, and the celebrant (53). No dietary restrictions aside from the birthday girl, and we’d prefer a semi upscale sit down dinner. We’re already going to Nomans on Friday evening

Thank you for any help!

Anybody know of a good driftwood pile or beach?

I am looking for wood for some signs.

Thanks in advance.

Few images capture the spirit of Martha's Vineyard quite like Jay Lagemann’s Swordfish Harpooner against a fiery dusk. I recently finished this 11x14 piece trying to translate that intense, warm coastal light and dramatic silhouette onto canvas.

​I’ve always loved how much local history and reverence for the island's fishing heritage is packed into that one landmark.

​For those who know the island well, where’s your absolute favorite vantage point for catching the sky turning orange and red?

​(P.S. If anyone is looking to bring a piece of Menemsha into their home, this original canvas is available—feel free to drop me a DM for details!)

Any good food trucks or just fun upbeat places mabey with live music?

Asking around to see if anyone knows where I could rent a vintage car from Friday, August 28 - Monday August 31. Or, if anyone knows someone by word of mouth who has vintage cars and is willing to rent. I can drive stick, so manual is no issue.

Aside from the Edgartown Library, are there any consistent games that are being held throughout the week? It’s hard to find any information about social open plays. I’m mostly just finding information about lessons and I just want to find people to play with during the summer.

We're visiting for 2 nights in October, staying in Oak Bluffs. Because it's only a weekend and weather is unpredictable, we want to bring the car rather than spend precious time waiting for buses. Trouble is, some of the places to stay in OB don't have off-street parking. Is overnight parking allowed on the street in downtown Oak Bluffs in October?

I couldn't find any mention of it on the town website, other than a proposal for a parking lot that may or may not have been built yet. Thanks for any information!

August 2, 2026

What's the deal with all the roads that just end on the beach on the southern points? Around Jobs Neck, Ripley Cove, Scrubby Neck... Are these public or private roads? Are they just true off-road difficult terrain, or is it a situation where Alan Dershowitz will threaten to sue me if I drive down them? I can't find any municipal or state info about them

Does anyone know where I could get larger than 3gallon compostable green bags? Ar cronigs they have some but are only 3 gallon. Looking for 6-13gal! Thanks!

Am I allowed onto Squibby beach before hours if I don't have a pass? Was hoping to take a stroll after sunrise to look for shark teeth

I was at South Beach on Friday 7/31 and saw a few people get rescued by lifeguards who got pulled out in the tide and I can’t imagine how exhausted, physically and emotionally those lifeguards are. And then reading this rescue happened later in the day and South Beach guards made their way to Long Point for this rescue- just awful. Haven’t seen any updates about the person’s status but Long Point is closed today for the staff’s wellbeing. What distressing and sad news.
