Schedule

The Greater Boston Vintage Society presents the “Nor’Easter Island Weekend”! Bringing warmth to New England winter, we welcome you to a fun vintage and tropical weekend at the historic (and oh so kitschy) Sturbridge Host Hotel. Whether you are just into vintage clothing or a total Tiki aficionado, the Oasis has something for both. Here is the Preliminary Schedule for our 2026 event. For more info about activities, go to our ABOUT page. Scroll below for a menu for the Saturday Luau Dinner and the Hotel’s Cash Bar that will be offering cocktails throughout the weekend. This year, we are expanding the event to Thursday night. Join us for the extra day at no extra charge! (FYI, Optional activities/meals outside the hotel are not included in the ticket package.)
