Halloween on Nantucket is very special because it’s a Holiday for locals! There are not many holidays that can say that! ;)
With hardly any tourists here on island, it was very special to walk down Main St. and see all of our lovely “neighbors!”
A Nantucket Halloween starts with a parade and then the kids “Trick or Treat” up and down Main Street! It reminded me of Halloween in the small town I grew up in…

James and I waited until the last minute to decide our costumes. This is very unlike us. Usually we know weeks in advance.
So this is what we pulled off in 2 minutes! I was Alfalfa from the Little Rascals and James was Prince Charming.
Not our best effort! I was Alfalfa because I need a haircut and I didn’t want to style my hair how I usually do and James was Prince Charming because it was the only costume left at Dan’s Pharmacy!
When I was finished getting ready, I found that I actually look a lot like Alfalfa. :) Don’t you agree?
Some of our friends had a party and I got to hang out with my bestie Emily (Rosie the Riveter). Just because you live on an island and work together, doesn’t mean you get a lot of quality time every day so it was so great to see her and Steve out and about!
Steve’s “Walter White” costume inspired James and I to start watching “Breaking Bad.” We are addicted that’s for sure. We watched almost 3 seasons in 2 days!
Next year we want to have better costumes, but we had a great time with great friends at the party!
That was our first Nantucket Halloween!
See you on Tuesdays!
