And it makes even more sense for a town that hosts numerous LGBTQ theme weekends-Single Women’s Weekend in mid-May, Men of Color Weekend in late June, Bear Week in mid-July, Carnival in August, and many others. It’s appropriate that the town that developed into an artists colony in the 1910s, and simultaneously began to cultivate a following among lesbians and gays, is roughly a century later, hosting a Pride weekend.
īut in 2018, this impossibly picturesque seaside hamlet at the tip of Cape Cod held its very first Pride weekend, and after postponing the event in recent years due to the pandemic, Provincetown Pride is back this year and slated to take place June 3-5, 2022. And until recently, my answer was that Provincetown has no specific Pride festival or event-that it cultivates a strong sense of inclusiveness and queerness year-round, and especially during the spring and summer months, when most Pride events in the Northeast take place.įor details on other Pride festivals taking place in the region, check out the New England and Mid-Atlantic Gay Pride calendar. “When is Provincetown Pride?” It’s a question I’ve been asked more than a few times over the two decades that I’ve been visiting and writing about what’s unquestionably one of the top few LGBTQ vacation getaways in the world.
