Provincetown’s annual Spooky Bear Weekend is a fun way to celebrate the Halloween holiday. This year the annual party will take place from Thursday, October 28 – Sunday, October 31. More information about Spooky Bear Weekend 2021 is available on the Northeast Ursamen website.
The weekend will draw thousands and is one of the last busy weekends of the year and can be a lot of fun. Sergio and I have gone to celebrate this holiday many times over the past few years and we never fail to have a lot of fun. This year there are many parties, drag and cabaret shows and tea dances to enjoy. Below are a few of the published parties and venues that will be welcoming you this Halloween. Please keep in mind that proof of vaccination is required before being allowed entry to many of these establishments.
Places to go Spooky Bear Weekend 2021
Below are a few bars that will be open and celebrating Spooky Bear Weekend. Feel free to include any others that I’ve left off in the comments section of this post.
If you live in Provincetown or follow one of the many Facebook groups about Provincetown this is old news to you, because yesterday The Provincetown Independent shared that the gay landmark, Crown & Anchor, had gone under agreement; purchased by Jonathan Hawkins, and his partner / boyfriend, Paolo Martini.
The innkeeper, entertainment, and liquor licenses were all transferred from the previous owners Dougal and Murray to Martini and Hawkins at a licensing board meeting this past Tuesday, October 12th. While I don’t know Hawkins or Martini personally, several of my friends do. Hawkins has lived and worked as a producer in Provincetown for several years. His partner, Martini (what an appropriate name for an owner of the Crown & Anchor) is an executive at Cambridge-based, Moderna Inc.
What makes me happiest about this transaction is that it was purchased by a local, gay couple who live in and love this town. The Provincetown Independent correctly points out that in recent years there has been a great deal of corporate consolidation of gay bars, hotels, media etc… It is good to see that Ptown continues to march to the beat of its own drum and has somehow managed to keep this important venue locally (and gay) owned.
I want to thank Dougal and Murray for all the work they’ve done to make the Crown & Anchor such an excellent venue and wish the new owners Martini and Hawkins much luck and success.
