Daffodil Festival Nantucket
The Annual Daffodil Festival typically takes place on the last weekend of April in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Every spring, this vibrant weekend-long celebration welcomes the season as millions of daffodils bloom across the island. The highlight of the festivities is the beloved Antique Car Parade, where dozens of vintage cars adorned with cheerful daffodil flowers cruise down Main Street. Spectators line the streets, enjoying the colorful display of classic automobiles decked out in seasonal splendor.
Following the parade, the procession continues to the charming village of Siasconset (“’Sconset”), where participants gather for a lively tailgate picnic. Dressed in bright yellow and donning whimsical hats, attendees set up elaborate picnic spreads, turning the event into a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Throughout the weekend, the island is filled with daffodil-themed events and activities, from garden tours to family-friendly gatherings, all celebrating the arrival of spring. The festival transforms Main Street into a dazzling showcase of antique cars draped in daffodils, creating a stunning and joyful scene. Whether participating in the parade, picnicking in ’Sconset, or simply taking in the golden hues of blooming flowers, the Annual Daffodil Festival is a cherished tradition that brings the community together in a spirited celebration of renewal and beauty.
