Town of Oak Bluffs

"For a small town, we really have a lot going on in Oak Bluffs, when you think about it. We have the M.V. Hospital, M.V. Community Services, the YMCA, the Ice Arena, and the Skatepark all in our town. We have the O.B. School AND the regional high school. We have two ports of entry for boat passengers and freight, and a busy harborfront. We have a vibrant senior center, a town recreation area for kids and adults, and a beautiful library. We are home to the Portuguese-American Club and the VFW. We have many art galleries and music venues. We have the nation’s oldest platform carousel, the Flying Horses! We hold the best events of the summer: the Harbor Festival, Pride Parade, Grand Illumination, Built on Stilts performance festival, August Fireworks, Tivoli Day. And we have beautiful beaches and parks that are open for all to enjoy."
