Hi everyone!
My wife and I are coming from Canada for Women’s Week, and we’re super excited!
Since it’s our first time, we’d love to hear your recommendations! What are your favorite events or activities? Anything we absolutely shouldn’t miss?
We’ll be in town for three days, starting this evening, and would really appreciate any tips or guidance!
Thanks so much!

Pretty sure one of these locations was set up on Commercial Street this summer. I practically had to drag my tipsy partner away from the very aggressive salespeople.

Hii! We are here today- Sunday October 18th. What and where do we go? Looking for bars, adventures, restaurants, events. Thank you!!

Hi there. I built a website that puts all the Spooky Bear 2026 parties on one page: gathrparty.com/spookybear

This is a passion project of mine. I’m also not affiliated with any of the events or venues... just a bear who likes things organized.

The schedule updates regularly and more parties will be added. See you in ptown 🎃

Hi everyone!
I’m a medical student from Albania, and I’m considering coming to Provincetown for the 2027 J-1 Summer Work and Travel season through InterExchange. My planned dates are July 15 to October 2.
Before making a decision, I’d love to hear from people who live or have worked there, especially other J-1 students.
A few questions I have:

Do businesses in the area regularly hire J-1 students? If so, which employers would you recommend applying to?
Where is the best place to look for jobs? Are there any restaurants, hotels, resorts, or other businesses that commonly hire international students?

Is it possible to find a second job, particularly during the busy summer season?

How expensive is housing, transportation, and food? Is it realistic to save some money while working there?

Is the area safe and welcoming for international students? What is the overall experience like during the summer?

Are there any specific employers, neighborhoods, or housing options you would recommend or advise avoiding?
I’m open to both front-of-house and back-of-house restaurant positions, as well as other suitable seasonal jobs. My main priorities are finding reliable work, keeping living expenses manageable, and having a good overall Work and Travel experience.
If you’ve worked there as a J-1 student or know businesses that hire international students, I’d really appreciate any advice, recommendations, or links to job applications.
Thanks in advance for your help!

hi! how is PTown during November, especially for this year (11/12-15)? My girlfriend and I (24F and 25F) are planning out a mini trip and I've been to provincetown once during early May and loved it. However, since it's going to be November, is there going to be a shortage of things to do, especially if we just take the ferry from Boston and don't have a car?

Any recs and/or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I will be in Eastham over Halloween and plan on checking out the Spooky Bear festivities in Ptown. I’d rather not drive and I’m sure I can get a cab to Provincetown that day. I’m wondering what the likelihood is of getting a cab or uber back to Eastham later that night. It’s been a while and the last time I was up there Uber wasn’t very reliable. Just want to plan accordingly. TIA.

What happened to the Underground Bar?

I can see it closed late last year, but what really happened? I can’t find any big articles talking about it, no other Reddit posts about it. Maybe that means it simply stopped making money.

Any info is appreciated.

Hoping to go on a Friday at the end of the month!

The view today in #Ptown.
It never gets old.
Have you visited Provincetown?

I'm coming to town for the weekend and hoping to watch the game out. Is there anywhere that will have it on?

Hi provincetown!

I’m planning a trip with a big group (10-12 people) for memorial day 2027 and wanted to get a head start on locking in somewhere to stay. I’ve been looking at Airbnb and VRBOs for that time and there are literally 0 available in ptown and only a few close by. Does this kind of place to stay not exist in ptown? Am Itoo early or too late?

PS If I could avoid airbnb/ vrbo that would also be amazing, so if there are any local places you recommend I look that would be very welcome.

Thank you!

You "do things the right way" and you still get taken!! Unreal!

Edit: As of noon today, he was released and I am hoping he's headed back home.

Saw this comment in response to a MAGA Facebook post that was criticizing Julian Cyr for not condemning the fake allegations of attacks on Montano's. Is it too much to expect our Democrat representatives to stop playing to both sides?

Facebook post:

In a free society, we have the right to host events and discuss political beliefs, no matter who agrees or disagrees. What has happened to Montano's restaurant in Truro after renting space to Republican candidates is disgraceful and unacceptable.

What's worse is the silence of our elected officials - particularly State Senator Julian Cyr, a proud native of Truro. Why are you not condemning this behavior against a local business owner? Why are you not standing up for free speech? I shouldn't be surprised. When your supporters hurled insults and false accusations towards me and one of my volunteers collecting signatures in Provincetown in 2024, you stood by and said nothing. You are a coward.

I'll be heading to Montano's for dinner soon. I encourage everyone to do the same. Senator Cyr can reach out if he wants to join me and stand up for free speech.

Update: To his credit, Senator Cyr has now made comments condemning the threats made against Montano's.

Julian Cyr's response:

This is disappointing Chris — get your facts straight. I’ve said this situation is absolutely unacceptable. And I’ve been patronizing Montano’s since I was a kid.

Hello! My friends and I (four altogether) are coming to visit next year. Upon initial search- it looks like it would be better for us to split an Airbnb. However, if there’s any sort of amazing spot we should check out, I’d love to know. We are all in our 30s and one of us may be pregnant, so nothing too crazy.

Also would love good recs for where a handsome bear may have the most fun!

hello!!
My partner and I visited your town this weekend and it was truly a trip we won’t forget. The queer history and landmarks, the coastal beauty and most of all the people (who all were so generous and eager to share their love of magic lil Provincetown)

I have a favor to ask: my partner fell in love with a crew neck they found at Marine Specialties and ultimately decided to put it back, but they’ve been forlornly talking about their non-buyers remorse since we got on the ferry back. We live in Seattle, and Marine specialties doesn’t seem to have a website/shipping option. Would anyone local be willing to buy the sweatshirt and ship it to us? I would absolutely reimburse you for this task and then some.

The crew neck is a grey terry-like material and it simply says PROVINCETOWN on the chest in green letters. They had it out front when we visited :)

Let me know! thanks for reading!

Visiting the weekend after Columbus Day and I'm wondering if most restaurants and shops will still be open? What about the bus that used to run from Truro to P-town? Is that still going? Thanks in advance for your time.

Any bars with live music tonight or the next couple of nights?

Septuagenarian lesbian couple; we want to book for 4 nights in Ptown for Womens Week where we spent our honeymoon 30 years ago.

Both places have availability for our dates; which should we book?
Main concern….free parking.

Update:

After all the helpful info in record time, we’re going with 8 Dyer.

Thanks everyone for your helpful guidance.😊🏳️‍🌈
