DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1989 by Dr. Louis W. Sullivan\, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services from 1989-1993\, the Sullivan Run/Walk for Health and Fitness is a great end-of-summer event for the whole family. \nRacers of all ages compete on the US Track and Field Association certified 5K course around East Chop Bluff with a spectacular view of Nantucket Sound. Based on feedback\, we moved up the start of the race to 9:30 am and had runners and walkers leave at the same time. Kids 10 and participate in the Kids Dash at 9 am. The race begins and ends at Washington Park at the intersection of New York Avenue and East Chop Drive\, in Oak Bluffs\, Massachusetts. \nCommemorative T-shirts are distributed to the first 300 registered race participants. Strollers and well-behaved leashed animals are permitted; however\, we ask that they remain at the “back of the pack” and practice extreme caution during the race. \n\nMVCS is a sponsor for this event and has a number of allotted spots available. If you wish to participate\, please contact Iris Albert at ialbert@mvcommunityservices.org\, or 508-693-7900 ext. 229.\n\nDate\nSaturday\, August 23\, 2025 \nTime\n\n9am (Kids Dash)\n9:30am Run/Walk (Please note earlier start time)\n\nRegistration & Number Pick-Up\nFriday\, August 22\, 2025 | 3pm – 6pm | MVH Lobby \nSaturday\, August 23\, 2025 | 7:30 am – 8:45 am | Washington Park \n

SUMMARY:The Grand Illumination (Illumination Night)
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, as dusk falls on Illumination Night\, thousands of colorful paper lanterns are lit simultaneously\, casting a magical glow over the cottages and creating an unforgettable sight for all who attend. The event begins with a community sing-along inside the Tabernacle\, an open-air\, octagonal structure at the heart of the MVCMA. As the final notes of the songs fade\, the lanterns are illuminated\, and the night truly comes alive. \nVisitors are invited to stroll through the maze of cottages\, each uniquely decorated and glowing with the soft light of the lanterns. It’s a night that transports you back in time\, allowing you to experience the charm and history of Martha’s Vineyard in a truly special way. The Grand Illumination is not just a celebration of the island’s past\, but also a testament to the strong sense of community that continues to thrive here. \nAttending Illumination Night is a must for anyone visiting Martha’s Vineyard in August. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler\, this magical event offers a unique glimpse into the island’s rich history and enduring traditions. Best of all\, it’s free and open to the public\, with donations welcomed to support the MVCMA. So\, mark your calendar\, plan your trip\, and experience the timeless magic of the Grand Illumination on Martha’s Vineyard—a night you’ll never forget. \nThe event is supported with a free will offering – grateful for the generosity of everyone who visits\, participates\, and donates what they can to make this magical evening possible.
