44th Annual Fall Festival at Felix Neck

Special Event: Friday, November 29, 2024

10:00 am-2:00 pm

This Vineyard tradition, held the day after Thanksgiving, offers a fun and exciting opportunity to celebrate fall on the Island. Bring family and friends to enjoy live animal presentations, hayrides, crafts, food, wreath making, and music by The Flying Elbows. 

With the passing of Gus Ben David, Felix Neck’s first Director, we honor the past and focus on the future. This year, watch a screening of archival slides and historic footage, take a Felix Neck Timeline trail walk, view vintage photos and memorabilia, and more.
