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 Nor’Easter has something for you. Below is the schedule for our event. For more info about activities, go to our ABOUT page. Also, scroll below for the Saturday Luau Dinner and the Hotel’s Cash Bar menus that will be offered throughout the weekend. (FYI, Optional activities/meals outside the hotel are not included in the ticket package.)

The 2027 Schedule is yet to be released. Please see our 2026 schedule for a general idea on the event format.
