The Daffodil Festival Agenda 2026

The daffodil arrived on Nantucket before most of its admirers did. In 1974, a small group of island merchants decided that spring deserved a proper celebration—and that a few million yellow blooms along the roadsides, a parade of antique cars, and an excuse for a tailgate picnic constituted one. Fifty years later, Daffodil Festival remains one of the most genuinely pleasurable weekends on the island calendar: unhurried, slightly eccentric, and entirely its own thing. This year’s edition carries the weight of a milestone, which the island will wear, characteristically, with good humor.

Here is the weekend, laid out.
