Provincetown Pride

Regarding gay destinations in the USA, Provincetown is a front-runner. Throughout the 20th century, this coastal town of Massachusetts began to attract various artists, writers, actors, and poets thanks to its liberal attitude towards individuality and freedom of expression. Naturally, members of the LGBTQ community followed suit in the 1960s, making Provincetown the gay hotspot we know today. 

Despite its popularity among the gay community, Ptown only celebrated its first Pride in 2018. However, its presence was well and truly embraced by locals and visitors alike, making us confident that this colorful celebration will be around for a long time. During Ptown Pride, the entire town comes alive with pride-related events, parties, and discussions. Usually taking place throughout a weekend in June, Provincetown Gay Pride includes everything from a Stonewall Stroll through the city streets (the local equivalent of a Pride Parade), pride cruises, and drag nights. 

A community already well known for celebrating Pride, Provincetown Pride is the perfect annual genuflection to the local LGBTQ community. Events transpire throughout Provincetown, with local businesses joining in on all the fun. Organized by the Provincetown Business Guild, members wanted to create a significant moment in the year when Pride could be globally celebrated, just as every other day in Provincetown. The aim is to support and strengthen the LGBTQ movement on a local and global scale, all the while bringing to light local issues relevant to the community. Are you sold yet? We sure are! We'll see you at Ptown Pride for some weekend fun!
