Illumination Night is a Vineyard favorite.
Traditional Chinese paper lanterns will line the gingerbread cottages of Oak Bluffs. Around sundown, lanterns will be lit and allowed to burn through the night, making for a truly special scene in town.
In the past, illumination night would mark the close of the summer season for campground visitors. Over time, it has become one of the most popular summer spectacles on the Island.
