Not only is Trans Week - The Original Fantasia Fai

Not only is Trans Week - The Original Fantasia Fair - Provincetown’s longest-running theme week, but this historic town-wide event, ‘part learning experience, part social gathering, part reunion,’ is the longest running transgender event in the WORLD, and has served as a model for subsequent trans events since its inaugural year in 1975 (outdating even the Provincetown Business Guild’s inception in 1978!)

The Provincetown community is proud to host such an historic event that has spanned generations and helped to edify the lives of thousands of trans and gender non-conforming members, hand in hand with the evolution of the rest of LGBTQ+ Provincetown.

To REGISTER, VOLUNTEER or DONATE just head over to our full blog post on trans week - link up top!

The PBG would like to thank Ginny Binder, whose mother owned the original Pied Piper - Provincetown’s iconic lesbian hang - for allowing us invoke the legendary name and throw a killer dance party with so many of the women who made that scene special 🐭🍸

FYI This crew knows how to have THE GREATEST TIME - the energy in the PBC taproom was just so happy. Thank you for showing up to party, and thank you for helping the PBG to contribute another $716 to the over $12k we’ve been able to raise for Womencrafts @womencrafts this season!

We have more women’s events in store for the Fall, but make sure to keep Dyke Dock bumping in the taproom in the meantime - their next party is in October, deets at @dykedock 🦈

Thank you to our hosts and the staff at @ptownbrewingco 🍺 and to @ldukeofficial for the beats 🎶

The PBG would like to thank the incredible list of volunteers and folks that poured their time and energies into Provincetown’s 44th annual carnival & parade. THANK YOU for helping us to maintain the legacy of a safe and thrilling week-long celebration that makes the Provincetown community and our LGBTQ+ family proud! It truly takes a VILLAGE to make a LEGEND, so please know how integral and appreciated you have been for your support of a not-for-profit with only two full-time staff members.

Special thanks go out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Elyce Rivera @elycerivera our admin support Brad Mitchell @leggo__the__ego and our Parade Coordinator (your very own Town Crier) Daniel Llata Gomez @luckystraggler (as well as his husband Billy for running our judges booth!)

The PBG needs nearly 100 volunteers to safely bring the parade to our streets - so we hope you’ll consider joining us for next year’s Land of Toys, or additional PBG events throughout the year. Visit our linktree above to sign-up and join the volunteer crew!

In an effort to elevate the creative of this year’s Carnival Parade, pay homage to Provincetown’s history as an artist commune, and, most importantly, support local artists by getting them paid, the PBG piloted our first ever Carnival Artist Matchmaking Program. Did you notice these incredible floats in the lineup??

Bay State Cruise Co. @provincetownfastferry > Benjamin Grohsgal @meat_market & Charlie Simas @charlie_browntown (Winner Best Small Float)

Crown & Anchor (The Vault) @onlyatthecrown > Marc Guerrette @guerrettemarc & Paul Rizzo @lovepaulrizzo_

Linchris @linchrishotels > Izzy Berdan @izzyberdan

Provincetown Business Guild > Josh Wilmoth @joshmoths & Alex Sprague @sirerainbow (Winner Best Artist Matchmaking Float)

This year, the PBG paired four teams of local artists with four local businesses – the artists supplied their brains and talents, and the PBG provided logistics in terms trailers, trucks, drivers, etc. – and the results were show-stopping. We plan to scale this program further next year, so if your business wants to support local artists and have presence in the parade, we will have options for you across categories from self-propelled, small, and large floats to accommodate for budget and scale.

THANK YOU TO OUR BUSINESSES AND ARTISTS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND TALENT THIS YEAR. We are wildly grateful.

Additional thanks go to Del Mar Vacations @staydelmar and Tyler Rost and Kelli for coordinating.

Finally, thank you to PJ Wilson and @wilsonpj3 Stephen Walker @stephenwalkerinfo owners of @thebradfordptown for planting the seed for this program. We plan to grow it!
