MA Donut Shop Joins June "Jaws" Celebration
A beloved Martha's Vineyard donut shop will join in on the "Jaws" anniversary celebration with donut and merch specials.
MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MA — New England loves a donut just about as much as it loves "Jaws."
With that knowledge, it makes perfect sense that Martha's Vineyard donut shop Back Door Donuts is joining in on the celebration for the 50th anniversary of "Jaws."
Back Door Donuts will have a specialty Jaws donut for $3.50, and pair the treats with themed hats available for purchase throughout June, while supplies last.

In addition to donut specials, El Barco is running a cocktail special this month to celebrate "Jaws."
The restaurant announced a limited-edition cocktail called “Sharks in the Water” for the month of June. It will cost $15.
The cocktail is a mix of Bacardi Superior, Blue Curacao, Coco Lopez, grenadine, and gummy sharks.
El Barco will also have special Jaws t-shirts for $30.
The special is part of a series of "Jaws" events taking place this month on the Vineyard, where the movie was filmed, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film.
National Geographic and Amblin Documentaries, in conjunction with the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce and Circuit Arts, will present the premiere of "Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story," this month.
The upcoming documentary uncovers the behind-the-scenes stories of the bestselling novel and Steven Spielberg’s film, while also diving into our enduring fascination with sharks.
A free screening is set for June 20 at the Martha’s Vineyard Performing Arts Center, launching into a weekend of "Jaws" 50th anniversary festivities.
After the screening, the Chamber of Commerce will host Jaws: The After Party at The Harbor View Hotel's Roxy Pool Bar and Great Lawn.
