EVENT DESCRIPTION

Join our 2023 Carnival Grand Marshal Jason Carter  (AKA Monica Moore) as they bring Drag Story Hour to Town Hall from their hometown in Taunton, MA.

Monica Moore will read two of her favorite children’s books, “Worm Loves Worm,” and “My Uncle Auntie” in the Judge Walsh Room in Town Hall starting at 1PM on Saturday June 3rd.

Come and support Jason during Provincetown Pride at Drag Story Hour, then hear him speak at the Pride Rally at 4PM on the Town Hall steps!

Jason Carter, a 23 year old young man – better known in drag as Monica Moore – will be Provincetown’s Carnival Grand Marshal for the 2023 season. Carter has been the subject of repeated aggressions from Neo-Nazi groups right here in Massachusetts who have been protesting his drag story time events at the Taunton Public Library.

The people of Provincetown recognize the importance of supporting Jason and all LGBTQ+ community advocates who are on the front lines of the culture wars effecting our entire queer family in the US. We stand by our community, especially the drag and trans & non-binary communities that are being singled out with legislative attacks.
