The 48th annual Provincetown Carnival, themed "Deep Sea Disco," is one of New England's largest LGBTQ+ festivals. Organized by the Provincetown Business Guild since 1978, the week-long celebration draws tens of thousands of visitors to Cape Cod's tip with parties, drag shows, and the signature Carnival Parade down Commercial Street on Thursday, August 20. Family-friendly daytime events run alongside the nightlife. A landmark week on Provincetown's calendar.
