Provincetown is the most active location on the Cape. Although most of the cape shuts down during the winter months
ptown stays active. The rich community filled with local artists make this the perfect spot to
relax, shop, and just have the time of your life.
The most noted evens are Carnival which occurs every August, several women's weeks including the new Girl Splash, art and auction festivals, as well as the Fantasia and Holly Folly celebrations later in year.
