Four Summer Events in Provincetown Expected to Draw 15,000 Women
Girl Power Events announces the dates for this year's four summer events for lesbians and their friends in Provincetown — Single Women's Weekend (May 21-23); Memorial Day Weekend (May 28-31), featuring Ptown's women's party cruise; Women of Color & Friends Weekend (June 3-6); and Girl Splash: the Summer Event for Women (July 21-25).
Combined, these four events are expected to draw a record 15,000 women to a non-stop line-up of programming specifically tailored to lesbians from t-dances and pool parties to gay cinema events and world-renown lesbian entertainment.
“Provincetown — the gayest travel destination on earth — is the ideal setting,” said Lynette Molnar, Girl Power Event's visionary entrepreneur and powerhouse events producer. “I’ve traveled all over the world, and Provincetown is the only place I’ve ever been where women can walk down the street holding hands and feel totally safe. If you’ve never openly kissed another women at the beach or on the street feeling completely safe and proud, then come to Provincetown and experience a Girl Power event.”
Provincetown's zip code — 02657 — is the gayest in the country, according to the most recent U.S. Census, Molnar said. "Lesbians and gay men fill the beaches, restaurants, bars and lodging. Add Ptown’s seaside charm and you have an unparalleled LGBT vacation experience," she explained. “Instead of staying in big, impersonal hotels and shopping at cookie-cutter chain stores that can be found anywhere, our guests stay in lesbian- and gay-owned inns, dine at lesbian- and gay-owned restaurants, socialize at lesbian- and gay-owned nightspots, and shop at unique lesbian- and gay-owned boutiques."
Here's a round up of Provincetown four annual women's summer events.
