Gay Guide to Provincetown
Provincetown sits at the very tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and is one of the oldest and best-known LGBTQ+ summer destinations in the United States. Almost the entire town orients around Commercial Street, a single main strip lined with bars, restaurants, galleries, and guesthouses. The season runs on theme weeks, including Bear Week in July, Carnival in August, and Women's Week in October, each drawing large crowds. Beyond nightlife, the town is known for its beaches, dunes, art-colony history, and drag culture. The year-round population is small, but it swells dramatically through the summer.
