Empowering the youth of Nantucket to reach their fullest potential

The Nantucket Boys & Girls Club welcomed more than 200 friends and families for a sold-out afternoon of fall fun during our annual Community Fall BBQ . The event has become one of the Club’s most anticipated traditions, giving our community the chance to gather, share a meal, and enjoy the crisp autumn air together. Our back field on was filled with laughter and activity as families enjoyed classic lawn games, face painting, and a 'friendly' round of cornhole. Kids explored the playground, posed for photos, and lined up for a turn at the Club’s newest favorite attraction: a bright blue cotton candy machine that spun up sweet clouds all afternoon. Guests enjoyed a delicious barbecue spread provided by Island Kitchen , complete with all the favorites that make this event feel like home. The evening was made possible thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and community partners: Cape Cod 5, Bartlett’s Farm, Cheney Custom Homes, Hatch’s Package Store, Nantucket Party Rentals, Sandbar at Jetties, Nantucket Septic, Stop & Shop, and Unite for Safe Social Media . The Community Fall BBQ is a reminder of what makes Nantucket special. Neighbors come together, kids play, and the Club fills with the same sense of warmth and belonging that has defined it for generations. We are already looking forward to next year’s celebration.
