For almost 50 years, the Gatchell family has put on a massive Christmas light display, with the works — reindeer, snowmen, and over 20,000 sparkling lights. It doesn’t do it justice just to see it in The Minute. Guests are welcome to park their car and walk around, and encouraged to bring nonperishable food or a monetary donation for the Island Food Pantry, which will help feed Islanders in need this winter. It’s 5 pm to 8 pm, today until December 15, County Road, Oak Bluffs. Read more |
