Doug chats with Peter Burke of the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce to preview the upcoming 50th Annual Nantucket Daffodil Festival, happening Friday, April 24th through Sunday, April 26th. Peter highlights some of the weekend’s signature traditions, including the Origins of the Festival, the Flower Show at the Nantucket Inn, the antique car show on Main Street, and the always popular car parade ending in a Sconset picnic. This year, there’s a big push for community volunteers to help make the weekend run smoothly, with opportunities available across multiple events. Peter also emphasizes the importance of good behavior throughout the weekend. Celebrate responsibly, respect the island, and help keep Nantucket safe and clean, while encouraging attendees to take advantage of public transportation like the NRTA Wave.
