Annual Dinner
Saving the Best for Last: The 2026 Annual End-of-Season Dinner
On Sunday, August 30th, the Nantucket Land & Water Council was joined by friends and supporters for our Annual End-of-Season Dinner. The celebration took place at a breathtaking waterfront private property in Polpis. As guests arrived, they were met with a beautiful skyline and the smooth music of
Nigel Goss & Friends setting the tone for an unforgettable night.
NLWC supporters enjoyed
delicious wine
provided by Donelan Family Wines, Nantucket’s favorite
spirits supplied by Cisco Brewers and Triple Eight Distillery, along with the best kind of summer spread;
a raw bar contributed by Yoho! One of the hottest topics of the night were the incredible passed apps, hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and the dessert from
Nantucket Catering Co.
The Annual End-of-Season Dinner is always such a beautiful event, and is a wonderful reminder of
our community’s commitment to the protection and preservation of Nantucket’s natural environment for generations to come.
