Jaws: Stories Beneath the Full Moon

Jaws: Stories Beneath the Full Moon

Join us Thursday, July 10th on the Museum’s Lewis Lawn under the full moon for a one-of-a-kind evening that re-creates the iconic opening beach party scene from Jaws. With Michael Haydn—the original acoustic guitarist from that unforgettable scene—strumming live tunes around a cozy faux campfire, this is your chance to step straight into movie magic.

You’ll hear incredible behind-the-scenes stories from Islanders and others who were part of the film or have legendary Vineyard memories tied to it. Expect laughter, nostalgia, and maybe a few shark tales you haven’t heard before.

We’ll serve up Jaws Juice mocktails and plenty of pretzels and popcorn, but feel free to bring your own picnic and beach blanket. It’s a relaxed, joyful celebration of a cinematic classic—and the island that brought it to life.

$10 per person; $25 per family (up to 5 guests)
