Carnival was created by the Provincetown Business Guild in 1978 and is Ptown’s original summer celebration of community, expression, and creativity. The weeklong festival attracts tens of thousands of guests from all over the world to enjoy parties, events, costume contests and the celebrated Carnival parade down Commercial Street.

There will be fun and festive activities all week and the Carnival Parade will be held on Thursday, August 21st.

Beloved by locals and visitors alike, our annual Wellfleet OysterFest™ has grown to become one of the most popular events on Cape Cod. Started back in 2001, OysterFest is a 2-day party that pulses with everything that makes life in Wellfleet so special; art, seafood, and community.

Upwards of 20,000 people gather in the heart of downtown for one weekend in October to celebrate our world famous oysters. This family-friendly hootenanny takes over Main Street with local food, beer and wine gardens, live music, arts and crafts vendors, and, of course, oysters.
