The Start of a New Tradition

Mahon About Town has celebrated Nantucket's arts, entertainment, and social scene in photos and words since it was started in 2005 by Nantucket icon Gene Mahon. The tradition continues with the launch of Nantucket About Town. Current Mahon About Town subscribers will continue to find True Island Digital’s free lifestyle publication in their inbox every Tuesday and Thursday, along with links to an easy-to-read calendar of events and the island's most comprehensive restaurant guide.

 
 

NANTUCKET ABOUT TOWN

We’re out and about, on the scene, and capturing it all in lively reports and beautiful photos. Then bringing it all to you in Nantucket’s newest arts, culture, and lifestyle publication, the all-digital, easy-to-access Nantucket About Town. Inspired by the spirit of our longtime friend, Gene Mahon, Nantucket About Town takes you all around town to show you what happened and who was there. It’s free, it’s entertaining, and it’s for everyone. We won’t miss a beat. So you won’t miss a thing.
