Provincetown’s annual holiday celebration, Holly Folly, starts tonight. Festivities include traditional caroling to the more eye popping Speedo run down Commercial Street.
All the fun starts tonight with parties at both Purgatory and A-House from 9PM – 1AM. Saturday includes the Speedo run, Holiday drag bingo, and multiple sing alongs. The party concludes on Sunday at Purgatory with a leather dance party. For the full list of events visit the website at ptown.org/holly-folly.

November 21 – 23, 2014 is the inaugural Mister New England Leather Weekend in Provincetown. Finally the weather in Ptown will be suitable for all that leather.
Some of the events this year include an opening night party at The Vault from 10PM – 1AM; Mr. New England Leather Competition at the Paramount Nightclub that starts at 9PM; and a Tea Dance party called “After Glow” at The Vault from 3-6PM. Sadly the fast ferries between Boston and Ptown are no longer running but that shouldn’t deter any of you contemplating going.
Learn more about the new theme weekend by visiting their webpage, mrnewenglandleather.org or by liking their facebook page. If you have any questions reach out to info@FullKitGear.com.
I suppose this is an inside joke if you are not familiar with Provincetown, but when I saw this a couple weeks ago I couldn’t resist snapping a photograph.

Twenty-six years ago two men, Jay Critchley and Walter McLean, organized the first Swim for Life, which raises money for local health services. Back in 1988 eighteen swimmers took the plunge and raised $6,000.
In the early 1990s prayer ribbons were initiated to provide visual witness to the swimmers as they crossed the harbor from Long Point to the Boatslip where the swim concludes. Each swimmer inscribes the names of those they love and a personal message.
Swim for Life Saturday, September 6
Held the weekend following Labor Day, the event has grown over the years, attracting 150 volunteers and more than 400 swimmers. For more information visit swim4life.org.
This year’s Provincetown Carnival theme may go down as an all-time favorite. The crowds came out in an array of colorful costumes with a large number of Batman, Superman, Spidey and (of course) Wonder Woman but some got fairly creative. Enjoy this video of all the fun in Provincetown this past week.
Note: If you click on the YouTube icon in the lower right of the video below it will open in a larger window for better viewing.
Finally back from Provincetown, Sergio and I are meticulously going through our many photographs to cut and crop.
Tomorrow I’ll be able to share our 2014 Provincetown Carnival video. Much thanks to all of you with a special shout out to WGB for the link on the blog today. You can see my previous teaser posts here and here. 
Watch the 2014 Ptown Carnival video here.
Sergio and I remain on Cape Cod enjoying our final days in Provincetown before heading home where I can sort through the photos taken on this latest trip. Here are a few more photos that will most likely pop-up in my 2014 Carnival video. You can see my first teaser post from yesterday, here.

Sergio and I remain on Cape Cod through the weekend so any video editing from all of the fun will have to wait, but I’m already getting bombarded with questions about 2014 Carnival Parade so here are a few photos – consider this a teasers of what is to come and to whet your appetite. 
Watch the 2014 Ptown Carnival video here.
Here is a glimpse of some recent Provincetown Carnival parades.
This year’s parade will not have made it to the West End by the time this post goes live but I’ll do my best to post photos of all the onlookers who get dressed up on my Twittah and Instagram account.
Provincetown 2011 theme: Can’t Stop the Music
Provincetown 2012 theme: A Space Odyssey
Provincetown 2013 theme: Viva Las Vegas
Are you in Provincetown? Say hello if you see me. I’ll be doing my best with the help of Sergio to snap photographs of some of our favorite costumes from this year’s parade and the parties that follow.
If you have a costume you are proud of be sure to send me a photograph at bosguymail@gmail.com.
Although this photo is from the no pants subway ride in Boston a couple years ago, this will have to suffice until we return from Provincetown. Have a great day and hope to see you in Ptown.
I don’t know about you but I’m feeling pretty fabulous. We are taking the morning ferry to Provincetown for Carnival 2014.
Next Thursday is Provincetown’s Carnival Parade. Although Carnival Week technically starts this Saturday most will go later in the week, arriving just in time for the annual parade.
Carnival is my favorite Ptown theme week and I love this year’s theme, Comic Book Capers.
Here is a glimpse of 2013 Provincetown’s Carnival celebrations.
