From early April to mid-May, over three million daffodils of every color, shape and size will bloom on Nantucket Island, a world-class resort just 30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. This blossoming, and the advent of spring itself, is the focal point of the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce's Annual Daffodil Festival, April 25-27, 2008.
Originated by the late Jean MacAusland, a summer resident of Nantucket and former publisher of Gourmet magazine, the weekend has grown into afull-scale celebration of winter's thaw, joyous for both islanders and visitors alike. Daffodils adorn the island's roadsides, gardens and shop windows with blossoms of yellow, orange, white and even pale pink.
