4th of July and Provincetown History
- Provincetown is one of the best places to celebrate the 4th of July. Not only is the town one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in the world, it is also one of oldest in America.
- Provincetown is where, in 1620, the Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact, the ancestor of the Declaration of Independence.
- And it’s not just all dancing and partying. You can bike to high dunes that cover the town’s Atlantic Ocean beach, go whale watching, browse the art galleries on Commercial Street and dine on lobster caught that morning.
The Crown & Anchor
- The Crown and Anchor offers a total vacation experience. All of the food served at the Central House at the Crown is locally sourced and seasonal, including local fishermen’s fresh catch, meat from the in-house butcher and plenty for vegetarians and vegans.
- The venue includes a video bar, a piano bar and the town’s favorite leather bar. During the day, the giant pool and deck is the place to see and be seen. You can book a room at the Crown & Anchor Inn, which will put you right in the heart of the week-long action. Book early. Independence week sells well in advance.
