Step into the glow of history at Grand Illumination Night, Wednesday, August 20, 2025, in Oak Bluffs. Join the community-lit Tabernacle for hymns, prayer, and live music, then be mesmerized as hundreds of paper lanterns ignite, illuminating the iconic gingerbread cottages in a breathtaking sea of color.
Dating back to 1869, this storied evening kicks off with a community sing-along in the Tabernacle led by the Vineyard Haven Band, then culminates in the simultaneous lighting of hundreds of paper lanterns strung along gingerbread cottages. Come sing, stroll, and light up the Campground together.
