The Chamber's 44th annual Daffodil Festival--slated for April 27-29--is our "kitschy" kickoff to spring and pays homage to the island's bold and brilliant signature bloom. This wacky, whimsical and wonderful weekend attracts revelers of all ages to our shores for a series of fun and festive events, and features an Antique Car Parade: 100+ vintage vehicles (and motorcycles!) vie for prizes in the categories of Best Decorated, Most Authentic and People's Choice. The Daffy Hat, Dog and Children's Parades add to the fun, with ribbons awarded for the most inventively decorated chapeaux, hounds and "trikes." Cars motor out to 'Sconset for the traditional Tailgate Picnic (awards abound) welcoming participants, locals and visitors alike for an al fresco post-Parade "nosh." (Pack a bountiful basket of brunch fare as you bask in the sun's benevolent rays....the scenery is incomparable!) For those wishing to remain in Town, there's a Family Picnic at Children's Beach featuring pirate stories and a puppet show. Don your daffiest “chapeau”, adorn your pampered pet in Daffy-themed garb, bedeck your vintage Packard in brilliant buttery yellow, and join us as we all live in a yellow, sunny dream. It's a daffo-delirious weekend of fun
