Just thirty miles off of the coast of Cape Cod, Nantucket has developed a reputation for being one of the cultural havens of the region. The festivals held here celebrate everything from food and wine to flowers and film, all set against the tranquil backdrop of an island that was once New England’s former whaling capital.

Since 1996, the Nantucket Film Festival has been one of the cultural and artistic highlights of the summer season on Cape Cod. Learn more about the Nantucket Film Festival by reading on below!
