Holly Folly: Provincetown's 2025 LGBT Holiday Festival

Holly Folly is Provincetown’s annual LGBTQ+ holiday festival, taking place this year from December 5-7, 2025. Known as one of the nation’s oldest and largest queer holiday celebrations, Holly Folly offers a weekend packed with camp festivities.

Why should you go?

In previous years, the highlights have included the Jingle Bell Run & Champagne Brunch, where participants run down Commercial Street in their bathing suits, drag bingo, and holiday sing-alongs. Visitors can enjoy a holiday market, dance parties, and performances by local entertainers. The exciting venues that are a part of the Holly Folly festival are the following: The Town Hall, The Vault, Tin Pan Alley, and The Red Room. Join in for the unique and exciting Provincetown traditions this year. One of the most notable ones is the Christmas tree of Provincetown, which is made entirely from Lobster pots!
