From the first arrival on Friday to the final conversation on Sunday, The Nantucket Edit is structured as a complete weekend experience rather than a collection of disconnected events.
The Weekend.
OCTOBER 9–11, 2026
THREE DAYS ACROSS NANTUCKET
One narrative, paced from arrival to last word.
Friday introduces the people and point of view behind the weekend. Saturday carries the full expression of fashion, conversation, retail, hospitality, and the signature evening program. Sunday returns the experience to a more personal scale.
Programming will take place across multiple island locations. Ticket holders will receive final schedules, arrival guidance, and access details before the weekend.
