The Provincetown Carnival has been named the Best Festival on Cape Cod, and it does its best to live up to that reputation with more than 90,000 attendees and a roster of parties to rival any Pride parade in New York or San Francisco. Costume balls, leather dances, house parties, and beach events are just a few of the diversions on offer. Parade entrants should be sure to register in advance to secure placement.
