You probably know P-town as a legendary LGBTQ getaway. If you’re gay and it’s summer, there’s nowhere better to be in the US. but that’s just one facet of this small town on the upper Cape.
Provincetown is also home to the oldest active art colony in the United States, and you’ll find commercial street bursting to the brim with art galleries and studios. local artists are a cornerstone of P-Town, and plenty of checking out artists drop in each year.
Provincetown caters to everyone. You’ll find Portuguese fishermen with centuries-long roots here, well established artists of all kinds, Boston students from around the world popping in on day trips, athletes seeking to hit the bike trails, and every kind of family you can think of with kids of all ages.
Provincetown is a place that is genuinely diverse. As a Massachusetts native, I can attest that the state looks diverse on paper, but is very segregated in action. P-town is a rare and terrific exception where everyone comes together.
