Carnaval de Provincetown
Sobre este evento
Carnival es la semana gay más concurrida de Provincetown del verano: ocho días en la tercera semana de agosto construidos alrededor de un tema de disfraces y un desfile. El Provincetown Business Guild lo inició en 1978 como un evento de un día para llenar una semana tranquila de agosto, y ahora se apodera de toda la ciudad.
El desfile es gratuito y se lleva a cabo el jueves por la tarde, comenzando alrededor de las 3 p.m. cerca del Harbor Hotel y siguiendo Commercial Street a través del centro hasta el West End. La gente coloca sillas en la acera temprano en la mañana para reservar un lugar. El resto de la semana son fiestas: la fiesta de apertura en el Boatslip, el baile de disfraces en el Crown & Anchor, bailes de té y espectáculos de drag, la mayoría con entrada o con un cargo. Las casas de huéspedes se reservan con un año de antelación y a menudo requieren estancias mínimas, y los ferris de Boston se llenan.
El Gremio estimó 150.000 personas en Commercial Street para el desfile de 2023, según informó el Provincetown Independent. Ese es el número de los organizadores para una ciudad de menos de 4.000 residentes permanentes, y no encontramos ningún recuento independiente. El 48º Carnival se celebró del 15 al 22 de agosto de 2026 bajo el tema Deep Sea Disco, con el desfile el jueves 20 de agosto. El tema y las fechas de 2027 no se habían anunciado cuando consultamos.

Consejos prácticos
Book a room months in advance — Carnival Week is the busiest stretch of the Ptown summer.
Stake out a spot on Commercial Street by early afternoon on Thursday; the parade route fills fast.
Leave the car in Truro or at the airport lot and use the shuttle — the West End is closed to traffic during the parade.
