Celebrate the Holidays in Ptown December 1-3, 2023
The nation’s original LGBTQ+ Holiday Celebration, Holly Folly, first began in 1997 as an opportunity to gather and celebrate the Holiday season with our chosen family in Provincetown. In 2022 we celebrated its 25 Year Anniversary and today the queer community travels from far and wide to enjoy great performance art, fine dining and holiday shopping experiences from the truly unique shops, boutiques and galleries that line Commercial Street.
Scroll down to see pics from Holly Folly 2022 and plan to join us in Provincetown in 2023!
Thank You to Our Partners
