After more than two decades, the Boston Pops on Nantucket continues to the largest and most popular summer event on the island, attracting thousands of island residents and visitors to Jetties Beach for a night of unparalleled entertainment to support the general operations of Nantucket Cottage Hospital. This year’s event is on Saturday, August 10 with gates opening at 4:30 pm for the 7 pm show. Joined by The Spinners, conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra will once again turn Jetties Beach into a world-class concert venue.
