Provincetown’s Holly folly is a weekend long festival of fun shopping, parties, events and cultural activities to kick start your Christmas celebrations.Don’t miss the popular Inn Stroll, where Ptown’s famed guest houses open their doors to the public. Pace yourself for this one, as the innkeepers out ‘Martha Stewart’ each other in decorations, treats and libations.
It is standing room only for the outlandish Drag Bingo, a major benefit for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) of Cape Cod. The schedule of events is pretty packed!
And get those abs in shape and perhaps meet the love of your life in the first ever Santa Speedo Run, a 1 mile run down the center of town, with proceeds benefiting the Cape Cod Firefighter/EMS Cancer Relief Fund. But keep your drag outfits handy for our Drag Brunch as well.
