“I’m genuinely thrilled for this year’s festival. The increased level of interest and support from new and returning sponsors and participants has enabled us to greatly expand the festival lineup. We’re really raising the caliber of the experiences and wine available to our guests this year and it’s very exciting.” – Dawn Curtis Hanley, MVF&W Festival Director.
The MVF&W Festival was founded by the Edgartown Board of Trade in 2007 with the goal to create additional tourism on the Island during the autumn months. The MVF&W Festival is rooted in its commitment to showcase the local talent and abundant resources on Martha’s Vineyard all year long, and further supports the community by donating proceeds to local charities including the Island’s farm-to-school program Island Grown Schools, and the Agricultural Society’s Farmers Program which perpetuates agriculture on Martha’s Vineyard.
The MVF&W festival is made possible by Edgartown Board of Trade, Colonial Reproductions, Sandpiper Realty, the Steamship Authority, JW Construction, The Christina Gallery, Guinness, Rosewater Wine & Spirits, 123 Tequila, White Claw, Back Bay Roasters, Boston Design Center, Brennan & Co, Cape Cod Five, and more.
