Wild street brawl erupts during ritzy Nantucket Christmas celebration: video
NY Post ^ | 12/11/25 | Anna Young

They decked the halls — and each other.

A ritzy Nantucket Christmas celebration erupted into mayhem as men decked out in “Ralph Lauren and Burberry” traded blows just moments after Santa Claus made his appearance, according to shocking footage.

The wild brawl broke out on Federal Street Saturday afternoon during the Massachusetts island’s 51st Annual Christmas Stroll, where hundreds had gathered to visit local businesses in one of America’s priciest small towns, the Nantucket Current reported.

In dramatic video shared with the outlet, about a dozen men — ranging in age from 20s to 60s — were seen arguing and shoving each other in the middle of the street before breaking into small groups, where the aggression continued to escalate.

“All of the sudden there were two groups,” a witness told KISS108 on Tuesday.

“It was kind of like the Jets and the Sharks from West Side Story, only in Ralph Lauren and Burberry. It was 20-somethings versus like 60-somethings.”

In one group, a young brawler could be seen pushing an older gentleman. In another, a young slugger sucker-punched a man in a snazzy brown trench coat in the back of the neck, prompting another person to leap onto the attacker’s back, the chaotic video showed.

One of the scrappers was then thrown to the ground, as an older man charged after someone much younger and tried to land a punch — all while a black SUV sat in the middle of the road.

I used to have a book of limericks compiled by someone going by the name G. Legman. There were over 1000 limericks in it, and only one- only ONE, was decent enough to print in this forum. 1000 dirty limericks…

Its novelty wore off and I gave it away.

Do MA leftists let colored people on Nantucket?

I mean, I know they prefer illegals to do their lawns and to pay slave wages, but they generally don’t let them out in public areas.

The people of color are only allowed on Nantucket during the summer season. When they are “allowed” access to mow lawns or replace the White Cedar Shingles on all the houses.
They are also allowed to bar tend, wait tables, change the linen(and I mean LINEN, or Egyptian cotton, no polyester allowed) and generally do the menial labor on the island.

It is really bad reporting that the story can’t say why the fight broke out. The reporter had just one job: who, what, when.

Yep, missing the why, probably someone stole a parking spot.

You really shouldn’t get in a fight with a JCREW sweater wrapped around your shoulders.

Gee Buffy, I really hope the Range Rover didn't get scratched. It would be quite inconvenient to have to take the 4Runner

Those unfamiliar with Massachusetts should know that Nantucket is the (slightly) poorer cousin of obscenely wealthy Martha’s Vineyard.

Perhaps more people wealth on the vineyard, but homes are more expensive on Nantucket.

“Disappointed that the author used the crude term “brawl”, when fisticuffs or a spirited disagreement would have been more apropos.”

It was an unfortunate accident.
