Celebrate the Holidays in Provincetown Holly Folly takes place all four weekends in December December 4-6, 11-13, 18-20, & 25-27

Join us for the 29th annual Holly Folly Festival! For the second year, Holly Folly expands from one weekend to all four weekends in December!

The nation’s largest and oldest 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. 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.
