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.Â
