Provincetown celebrates the holidays with typical panache, including a Santa Speedo Run down Commercial Street and performances by the Gay Men's Chorus. Many events during this two-day festival are free, like the Inn Stroll, where historic inns throw open their doors and welcome all comers to a movable party complete with canapes and cocktails. Or stop in at Drag Bingo, benefiting Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) of Cape Cod. But whatever you do, don't forget to donate money to one of the many good causes that are supported by this popular community event.
