Illumination Night is a Vineyard favorite. Traditional Chinese paper lanterns are ornately hung outside of the delightful gingerbread cottages that line the Oak Bluffs campground. Lanterns are lit at sun down and burn through the night making for a truly special scene in town. Originally marking the close of the summer season for campground visitors Illumination Night has become one of the most popular summer spectacles on the island. Community sing and Vineyard Haven Band concert will precede Illumination.
