It’s that time of year again — when joy and unbridled enthusiasm fill the streets of Oak Bluffs with the Best Parade to be held Saturday November 1st, 7pm.

And leading the way? Our island’s very own Upis Land Band growing stronger with each note and every step!

This homegrown band brings life, rhythm, and soul to our community celebration. Your support would help The Upis Land Band continue to get bigger and better.

We’re asking for your generous help to cover some modest but essential costs:

Paying musicians: $2,000

Police detail: $396

Band swag (stickers, signs, etc.): $150

Anything raised above this amount will go directly into the Band Fund, helping the group invest in much-needed instruments (quads and a sousaphone), design a logo, and print t-shirts to proudly represent our island’s spirit.

Please join us in preserving this beloved tradition, supporting local musicians, and celebrating what makes the island so vibrant and unique.

Every donation helps — no matter how big or small.

Thank you for showing up for the music, the culture, and the community.

Let’s make the good times roll!
