While summer in Provincetown may seem too far off to contemplate, the reality is that Ptown is a premiere LGBT destination for gay travelers all over the world and places are booking for some of Provincetown’s busiest weeks.

Independence 2015 – Tickets and Information for the Crown

Last week The Crown & Anchor started selling tickets for Independence 2015. Independence 2015 will run from July 2 – July 10, 2015 and the Crown has an incredible line up of award-winning DJs including Alain Jackinsky (JustCircuit’s DJ of the Year 2014), Ivan Gomez, Abel and many more.  If the club scene isn’t your thing the Crown has lined up three live concerts with the original “Dream Girl” – Tony and Grammy award winning – Jennifer Holliday.

Does the cold weather have you missing the summer? Perhaps you will be happy to read that Provincetown’s 15th annual Bear Week is in six months.

The fifteenth annual celebration begins on Saturday, July 12th so start saving your money and get on the phone to make your reservations, because this year’s celebrations are expected to draw even larger crowds.

2015 Bear Week in Provincetown

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.

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.

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. Watch the 2014 Ptown Carnival video 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.
