Links providing information about Martha's Vineyard and the Edgartown area:Martha's Vineyard General Information Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce Recreation Edgartown Bicycles - Rentals & Repairs MusicIt will depend a lot on when you come but there is great music on the island. The best source is the bulletin boards in town and the internet at MV Online (see above). Here are some sources I found that are not on MVOL Classical concerts are held at the old Whaling Church on Mian street but they haven't posted a schedule yet. The Martha's Vineyard Chamber Orchestra plays there. If you want to hire a group for a in house concert these folks might do the trick Most of the music is for a younger group but this venue has more classic music. Live music at the Katharine Cornell Theater, VH. The Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs has music. I saw Arlo Guthrie there. Nectars near the airport is the largest live music venue. Most of their bands are rock with occasional Jazz. The MV location is on Facebook but the website goes to the Vermont location so make sure you have the right location. Here is who played last year (I am writing this article in December and their new schedule isn't up yet. Theater IMP & WIMP: Improv comedy various venues, summer series at the Grange Hall Theater, WT. Island Theater Workshop: Year-round community theater, VH. Vineyard Playhouse: Mainstage summer productions, holiday shows, Shakespeare for the Masses, dramatic readings. Seasonal at the Amphitheater: The Fabulists for Children, Shakespeare, VH. The Yard (seasonal): Modern & classical dance, opera and theater, CH. Pool and Gym The best bet for both a pool and gym is the YMCA The pool is 75 feet by 6 lanes and is kept at 83 degrees You can get an individual week long membership for $75. A family membership is $110 for two adults and unlimited number of kids. If you are already a member of a YMCA you can use the facility for $10 a day. Easy to get to and the closest to the house The Mansion house in Vineyard Haven has an indoor pool and workout center. This is a bit harder to get to in the summer due to the traffic. It is right in downtown Vineyard Haven. The pool is 75 feet by 3 lanes and is kept at 83 degrees The workout and vineyard tennis center is just a workout center. It is near the airport.
