Provincetown has long been connected to a sense of freedom, from the Pilgrims’ first landing on its shores to the Town’s enduring appeal for gay and lesbian travelers. Over the years, an eclectic mix of fishermen, whalers, artists, writers, Catholic Portuguese immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ+ community have called it home. Today, seasoned visitors and newcomers alike are still drawn to this sandy tip of the cape for its beauty, its color, and its sheer flamboyance.
