Celebrities and a massive tent were spotted in Martha’s Vineyard for former President Obama’s 60th birthday that his office said was "scaled back" to include just close friends and family amid concerns over the Delta coronavirus variant.
Drone footage obtained by Daily Mail showed large tents set up outside Obama’s massive Martha’s Vineyard estate along with a dance floor and several long tables.
Additionally, several high profile celebrities reportedly made their way to the island including Jay-Z, Eddie Vedder, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Dwyane Wade, and Stephen Colbert.
Obama’s team had originally planned a lavish birthday with over 500 guests expected to attend but announced this week the party would be "scaled back" amid criticisms over holding such an event while the Delta coronavirus variant was surging across the country.
"Due to the new spread of the delta variant over the past week, the President and Mrs. Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only family and close friends. President Obama is appreciative of others sending their birthday wishes from afar and looks forward to seeing people soon," an Obama spokesperson said earlier this week.
Some celebrities reportedly didn't make the cut and had their invitations revoked including Larry David, David Axelrod, Conan O'Brien, and David Letterman.
Several social media users reacted to the photo of the large tent with criticism and suggested that the affair was larger than Obama’s team let on.
"This is the tent for Obama’s ‘scaled back’ birthday party where only close friends & family were said to attend," conservative commentator Charlie Kirk tweeted. "Instead, multiple celebrities & politicians were seen."
Kirk added, "Why is it that the same people telling you to stay home & social distance don’t think those rules apply to them?"

They are likely all climate alarmists who flew their in their personal planes using many gallons of airplane fuel.
The Native Americans in New England used to laugh hysterically when they saw the white structures of the colonists.
“They can’t be that stupid...”
Let them eat cake.
Shouldn’t the State of Massachusetts take preventative measures to contain this probable Biological Disaster and QUARANTINE the Entire Property with everyone there for 30 days, to make sure they don’t recklessly KILL SOMEONE?
Still suffering from the struggle I see. 🤨
Such oppression
Looks a bit like the tent city in Texas which is housing illegal aliens. They should keep the tent up after the party, and let some illegals stay there.
sarcasm
Lots of jet fuel burned, lots of covid to be spread. Democrats don’t care as long as votes can be counted after election day and elections last for months.
That was my first thought too
And to add: many of them cross country from California
Looks like the perfect spot to round up all the usual suspects
Looks like the circus is in town.
Also Tootie from the Facts of Life!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Fields flew into Martha's Vineyard before the event
Save the Earth and keep us safe—quarantine the island!
*envoy.
Wouldn’t ya just love to see someone dump some lsd in that punch bowl...
Did I just say that?
I hope the potato salad gives them all gastric distress...can someone sneak a few thousand ants in the night before? A few hundred good size rats under a tent flap would be a nice touch too...
Only 490 guests now but the staff of 200 has double to be able to serve all the egotistical brats that will attend.
He scaled it back to only 500 or so of his closest friends.
Be a good place for incendiary balloons.
