Get away for a special Valentine’s weekend in Provincetown

I know that many people do not care for Valentine’s Day, but I am not one of those people. As a general rule, frivilous holidays are my favorite variety of holiday, and as a romantic at heart, I’ve always enjoyed Valentine’s Day. However, I know the holiday can be a great source of stress for many so I wanted to share the idea of planning a weekend away to Provincetown.

Below I’ve shared the events planned at the Crown & Anchor this Valentine’s Weekend followed by some personal suggestions for couples who may be interested in visiting Provincetown but who are looking for quieter alternatives on how they can spend time together in Provincetown over Valentine’s weekend.

This Valentine’s Day celebrate love, lust and everything in between at The Crown & Anchor. The entertainment complex has fully embraced the holiday and has programming on Friday and Saturday ranging from talent shows and cabaret to underwear parties and romantic dinners. For more information about these events visit, onlyatthecrown.com.

Friday, February 10
8:00 pm RuPaul’s Drag Race Viewing Party at the Wave Bar

8:00 pm Provincetown Follies: Saint Valentine’s Ed.
at The Paramount Club | $25 general admission/$35 VIP

9:00 pm My Slutty Valentine Underwear Party

Provincetown is very quiet in February, but it can make for a romantic weekend getaway. If you feel like The Crown & Anchor may be too busy for your liking call around around. Many Inns will be closed but many remain open and their nightly rates are significantly less than if you book in the summer.

Other ideas on ways to spend a romantic weekend in Provincetown include:

Friday, February 10
Check-in at your B&B / Inn
Pre-dinner cocktail in front of the fireplace at Shipwreck Lounge
Dinner reservations somewhere cozy & quiet (your choice)
Check out a cabaret show after dinner or head back to your Inn

Saturday, February 11
Snuggle up with breakfast in bed for two
Head to Provincetown Art Assoc & Musuem
or
Head to Waters Edge Cinema for a Matinee & Makeout session

Gay RomCom: Bros opens Friday

Luke MacFarlane and Billy Eichner filming a scene from Bros in front of A-House in Provincetown

I haven’t been to the movie theater in quite some time but Sergio and I plan to check out the movie Bros, which opens on Friday, September 30th.

Last August I was contacted by one of their casting managers and asked if I could help spread the word that they would be filming in Provincetown the following month and encourage interested people with “quirky personalities” to answer the open casting call. I wrote about it here. Sergio had the time off (and he has a quirky personality) so he answered the casting call and was selected for the filming.

I know there has been a lot of back and forth within the LGBTQ+ community about this movie, but I’m excited to see it. I love the feelgood and corny appeal of the RomCom movie genre, I love the idea of Provincetown being a backdrop for a few scenes in the movie, and I’m more than a little curious and excited to see if I can spot Sergio in one of the scenes filmed there.

If you’re unfamiliar with the movie, you can read more about the storyline and who is starring in the film here.

2022 Summer recap

Labor Day Weekend officially brings the summer season to a close in New England. The warm weather will continue to bring people to the beaches but the summer-state-of-mind shifts back to reality when I return to the office on Tuesday so I thought I’d recap what has been a wonderful summer.

MAY: Hello Captiva Island
Our first large group vacation since the COVID-19 outbreak took place over Memorial Day Weekend. Our friends David (taking the selfie), Mark (next to him in the green polo) and Rodney (in the back with the I ❤️ Fig Newtons shirt) organized this amazing trip. It was a great start to the summer season.

JUNE: Summah in the City
We spent most of June in Boston and highlights included going to a few Red Sox games at Fenway Park and going to M Street Beach (a.k.a. Kiki Beach) in Southie on the weekends. I love Boston in the summer.

Goofing around before the crowds arrive

JULY: Ptown & Brazil
We spent the July 4th holiday in Provincetown relaxing at our friend Marco’s beautiful home, and seeing friends, including the proud new owners of the Crown & Anchor, Paolo Martini and Jonathan Hawkins. They’ve done an amazing job since purchasing this inn, restaurant and entertainmnet complex, and I couldn’t be happier for them.

Then it was off to Belo Horizonte, Brazil to celebrate Sergio’s Mom’s 90th birthday at the end of the month. Kudos to Sergio for pulling off an amazing party. Below is a selfie I took to show off Belo Horizonte (Sergio’s hometown).

Belo Horizonte, Brazil

AUGUST: Back to Provincetown for Carnival
After unpacking from Brazil, we turned around a week or so later to go to Provinctown. We spent Carnival Week enjoying drinks and meals with friends, seeing a few shows, and visiting “Boys Beach”. Below are a few photos from our week at Carnival. BTW, Carnival 2023 theme is Land of Toys so start thinking about your costumes.

I’ll definitely miss the summer of 2022. Much thanks to Mother Nature for giving Boston and much of New England one of the best summers in recent memory.

Independence Week(end) in Ptown

Sergio and I visited Provincetown for the start of Independence Week celebrations and it was nice to see that things have largely returned to normal. The town is packed – the circuit boys are back, the families from all over the Cape are visiting, and the town is proudly decorated in red, white and blue.

Crown & Anchor Inn owners, Jonathan Hawkins and Paolo Martini

We were able to meet up with the proud new owners of The Crown & Anchor, Jonathan Hawkins and Paolo Martini. Since purchasing the property they have made several notable changes to the hotel, restaurant and bars.

Jonathan was nice enough to take us through the property giving us glimpses of the hotel rooms that have been updated and a moving exhibit called Ides of Gender by Zach Oren who photographed more than 500 trans folks which you can learn more about here.

Sunday’s Overboard Pool Party at Crown & Anchor with DJ James Cerne

This was the first year that the crowds seem to have returned in earnest and everyone is having a good time. Last year’s event was marred by terrible weather followed by an outbreak of COVID that garnered Provincetown bad press, but that is all in the past and I want to wish everyone there this week a wonderful time.

If you have plans in the coming weeks or months to visit Provincetown and you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. Finally, if you will be visiting Ptown, be sure to see a show. You can find out who is performing and where on my list of 2022 Provincetown Summer Performances.

2022 Provincetown summer performances

The variety and caliber of entertainers coming to Provincetown this summer is astonishing, and after the past two years, they could really use your love and support! Please plan to see a show when you visit Provincetown. Shows are listed chronologically so you can identify programming coinciding with your visit.

I will continue to update this list and monthly programming throughout the summer but you can also check out the main venues that book talent in Ptown at Art House, Crown & Anchor, Pilgrim House, and Post Office Cafe & Cabaret.
