Holly Folly Provinctown

A weekend-long festival jam-packed with events and activities including drag bingo, Santa Speedo Run, The Snow Ball and the infamous Inn Stroll in Provincetown.

More Holly Folly Details

Move over, mistletoe — Provincetown’s Holly Folly is here to make your holidays sparkle with sass and shine with queer cheer!

Since 1997, this legendary LGBTQ+ holiday celebration has been serving up drag, decadence, and dashing through the gay like nowhere else.

What started as a cozy gathering of chosen family has snowballed (glitterbombed?) into the nation’s largest and longest-running queer holiday extravaganza.

Check out their Facebook for more details on each event. The Boston Gay Men’s Chorus is just one of the many highlights you can look forward to plus all the sexy santas.

Why Go

Every December, the streets of P-Town become a festive runway of joy, where:

  • Commercial Street transforms into a winter wonderland of boutique shopping, quirky galleries, and queer-owned gems
  • Live performances light up the nights, from cabaret to comedy to “Did-they-just-do-that?” drag
  • Fine dining meets fine vibes, because sleighing the holiday season requires excellent wine pairings

Bottom Line

Whether you're rocking a Santa suit, hunting for the perfect unicorn ornament, or just need an extra-gay getaway to refill your sparkle tank — Holly Folly is the holi-gay magic you didn’t know you needed.

Come for the festivities. Stay for the feels. Leave with glitter in places you didn’t know glitter could go.
