45th Provincetown Carnival parade
The 45th Carnival Week in Provincetown is officially over today. While the weather was largely uncooperative throughout the week, it didn’t impact our fun. This year’s Carnival theme Land of Toys proved to be a great theme. Perhaps the cleverest take was The Crown & Anchor’s play on the well-known *but now defunct* toy store brand, Toys R Us.
In addition to the Crown’s pronoun tweak, Bryan Rafanelli and friends marched up and down Commerical Street and then in the parade with an interesting take on jack in the box, featuring special counsel Jack Smith and some highly confidential documents.
Below are more photos from the crowds parading up and down Commercial Street before the parade started this past Thursday as well as images from some of the floats.
For those of you wondering why Provincetown Barbie was alone at the Carnival parade, it is because Ken was busy here.
There were many takes on classic toys and games like Operation, Lincoln Logs, and Magic Eight Ball, but I loved the various slinky costumes. Here are two that we saw. Who wore it better in your opinion?
Of course, there were some who preferred more adult toys / themes. Here are a few who posed for us, while they were strutting up and down Commercial Street and before the parade started.
Even the handsome Bulgarian pedicabs fully embraced the theme and were wearing their costumes all night as they pedaled exhausted people to and from bars, restaurants, and their homes / inns.
And of course, after the parade everyone heads to the Boatslip Tea Dance.
Thanks to everyone who participated, all the volunteers and first responders as well as the town of Provincetown for hosting this fun annual tradition. We will see you next year.
2024 Provincetown Carnival theme will be Renaissance x Revolution, August 17-24, 2024. Make your reservations now, and start planning your costumes!
Saturday morning coffee
Colten is from Hawaii but now lives in NJ. He recently reached out to let me know he is waiting to find out if he’ll qualify for next year’s Boston Marathon. Aside from running, I learned that he also likes this blog’s weekly vintage gay and Saturday morning coffee posts.
Many thanks to Colten for sharing how he takes his morning cup of coffee.

Vintage gay
Charles Ricketts. Ricketts and his life-time companion Charles Shannon were part of the literary and artistic circle that included Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde. The British artists first met as students in 1880 and remained together, sharing a small studio for 50+ years.
I first learned about these two men reading a blog post about Oswell Blaketon on the very interesting ultrawolvesunderthefullmoon.

45th Carnival Week returns to Provincetown
The 45th annual Carnival Week celebration officially begins today. This year’s theme is The Land of Toys and Provincetown has pulled out all the stops with parties and events planned through the week.
Highlights from this year’s Carnival week include the disco duck carnival cruise, Brass Key’s pool party, Alyssa Edwards who makes her Ptown debut, the town’s annual parade (a personal favorite), and a ridiculous amount of parties hosted at bars around town.
If you weren’t able to come to Provincetown this year but would like to come next year, Carnival 2024 will take place August 17-24, 2024. The theme for next year will be announced when the last float from the annual parade which takes place next Thursday rolls down Commercial Street.
