DAFFODIL CAR PARADE & PICNIC


June 19, 2025

Nantucket Daffodil Festival

The rain held off for the morning of the 49th annual Nantucket Daffodil Festival, with classic cars galore lining Main Street before parading to Sconset for a soggy but enthusiastic tailgate picnic. Despite the rain, Nantucket was still abuzz for the weekend—one of the first signs of spring on the island—as cold winter days long gone paved the way for one of the biggest and brightest blossoms in recent years.
