New mask wearing guidelines for Provincetown

Posted on July 19, 2021 | Leave a comment
Entering-Provincetown

UPDATE – 5:30p.m. JULY 20, 2021: The Boston Public Health Commission has issued a public health advisory for those returning from travel to Ptown. Asking all to get tested within 5 days of return regardless of vaccination status or symptoms. More info here: https://bit.ly/2UoOTak.

The Boston Globe is reporting that earlier this morning Provincetown’s select board and board of health issued a new mask-wearing advisory following an uptick in COVID-19 cases among vaccinated and unvaccinated people after July Fourth weekend.

The advisory recommends people wear masks when indoors regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status, “where social distancing cannot be achieved.” As of this past Friday (July 16), there were 132 confirmed positive cases. For those in Provincetown looking to get tested, the town has extended their mobile testing to be available through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Community Center parking lot. COVID-19 vaccinations made by Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer will also be available at the site.

How the recent uptick in cases may impact large public gatherings like the Boatslip’s daily tea dances and nightclubs remains to be seen. For more information, read The Boston Globe article, here.

Swim for Life: New route created after shark sightings in Provincetown harbor

Posted on July 7, 2021 | Leave a comment

Provincetown Swim for Life will be Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021

The 34th annual Provincetown Swim for Life is a 1.4 mile harbor crossing swim that raises money for charitable organizations like the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod. Due to concerns about shark sightings, this year’s swim is modifying the route which in years past has started at Long Point.

The new (slightly shorter) route of 1.2 miles will begin at the Snail Road beach area and conclude at the East End Waterfront Park at 387-395A Commercial Street. Registration will continue to take place on the deck of the Boatslip at 161 Commercial Street and a trolley will take swimmers to the starting point in the East End.

Registration for this year’s swim is now open, and the minimum pledge to participate is $100. For more information about the 2021 Swim for Life visit the event website, swim4life.org/2021-swim-for-life.

provincetown floating unicorn

While the impact of the coronavirus can still be felt in Provincetown, it is hard not to feel optimistic with so many Americans getting vaccinated. As a result, Provincetown is cautiously opening back up this summer and bringing back many of their theme weeks and weekends.

If you’re planning a trip to Provincetown this summer, check the calendar of theme weeks, fundraisers and parties that are currently scheduled for the summer of 2021. Tea Dances at The Boatslip begin one week from today on, Thursday, June 3rd.

May & June theme weeks in Provincetown

Memorial Day Weekend – May 28 – 31, 2021

Cabaretfest – June 23 – 27, 2021
Do you love cabaret music? You’ll want to come to Provincetown for the four days of parties, workshops, performances and networking and ofcourse, music.

July theme weeks in Provincetown

July 4th and Independence Week – July 1 – 5, 2021
This is party-week central and often referred to as circuit-boy week. The town fills to capacity so if you’re planning to come make sure you secure a reservation and ferry ticket. The town puts on a fun fireworks show (~8:45pm over Provincetown Harbor) and a Parade (~11am) to celebrate the 4th of July.

Bear Week – July 10 – 18, 2021
The largest bear event in the world takes place in Ptown each July. Like Independence week, Provincetown fills to capacity; overrun by hairy, leather, and large men. Personally, I find this to be the friendliest week of the year. Just be sure to make your restaurant reservations in advance – Bears love to go out and eat.

Girl Splash – July 21 – 24, 2021
This weekend is for the ladies. It includes concerts, comediennes, parties, and dancing.

Family Week – July 24 – 31, 2021

Provincetown’s Carnival is one of the largest outdoor celebrations in Massachusetts with a week of revelry, costumes, and a parade. This is Sergio and my favorite week all summer and is always a lot of fun. This year’s theme of Over the Rainbow seems quite appropriate considering everything the world has been through.
