Celebrate the Holidays in Ptown December 6-8, 2024

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.

Scroll down to see pics from Holly Folly 2023 and plan to join us in Provincetown this December 6-8 for our 2024 celebration which promises to be bigger than ever!

HAPPY HOLLY FOLLY PROVINCETOWN 🦞🎄 Check out more than 40 events this weekend at Ptown.org/HollyFolly

The holidays are about recognizing community & family more than ever: Big thanks to people like the Popko family (pictured above) who build the Lobster Trap Tree each year in reverence to both the hardworking fishermen of Provincetown as well as in honor of husband/father/grandfather and artist Julian Popko who started the tradition and passed in 2017.

Cheers to tradition, family and contributions to our beloved Provincetown.
