\"Speedo<\/p>\n

What are you up to this weekend?<\/p>\n

Grab a friend and shake things up a bit with an easy and affordable trip to Provincetown<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Provincetown This Winter.
\nIndulge this weekend.<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s Ptown\u2019s annual HOLLY FOLLY<\/a>: three days of entertainment, food, shopping, nightlife, and festive events created to welcome the winter season to the gayest resort town in the nation.<\/p>\n

Easy & Affordable<\/h4>\n

And this year for the first time EVER, Bay State Cruise Company is running from Boston to Provincetown<\/a> throughout the weekend (just 90 minutes), so you don\u2019t even have to drive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Instead of a day in traffic and a dreaded trip to the overcrowded mall you can take care of your holiday shopping at the unique boutiques and shops up and down Commercial Street<\/strong>, capping your trip off with a cocktail or a coffee in a restaurant by a glowing fireplace. Same friendly streets and people.<\/p>\n

Go to the Cape.
\nCar, Bus, plane or Ferry<\/h4>\n

Provincetown knows you need to get your holiday gift list checked off, and you can win prizes and packages by getting it done here. Take part in the \u2018Shop, Hop, and Stroll<\/strong>\u2018 and bring your receipts to the Holly Folly headquarters for a chance to win exciting gifts and prizes<\/strong>\u00a0from many of the restaurants and merchants in town.<\/p>\n

Shop, Hop, & Stroll.<\/h4>\n

Holly Folly is also the opening weekend of the Canteen Holiday Market<\/strong>, where you can shop local crafts, drink warm cider, and even ice skate by the sea. And Sage Inn at Pilgrim House<\/strong>\u00a0this year is hosting a food boutique shop featuring 15 artisanal food producers<\/strong> from around New England. Whaler\u2019s Wharf (arts & crafts, shops, eateries)\u00a0<\/strong>is also raffling off a huge basket of goods<\/strong> donated by its merchants, so don\u2019t miss out.<\/p>\n

\"Holly<\/p>\n

On Saturday, imagine yourself having a delicious champagne brunch by the sea before or after watching dozens of sexy shirtless Santas in Speedos<\/strong>\u00a0in the annual Jingle Bell Run<\/strong> down Commercial Street from Fanizzi\u2019s Restaurant (waterfront, open all year)\u00a0<\/a>to the Crown & Anchor (Speedo Brunch, Central House Restaurant, video<\/a> and piano Bars)\u00a0<\/strong>. After that you might hit the <\/span>Provincetown Art show at Hatches Harbor<\/strong> and pick up something gorgeous by a local artist for someone special in your life who loves Ptown.<\/span><\/p>\n

No Bull. Run with Sexy Santas.<\/h4>\n

\"\"You won\u2019t want to skip the hilarious Saturday afternoon Drag Bingo hosted by Tiki Bronstein<\/strong> where you could even fill your pockets with more cash to shop. If you\u2019ve ever wanted to see inside all the town\u2019s guesthouses, there\u2019s a fantastic Inn Stroll<\/strong> on Saturday afternoon, And Saturday night features another must-not-miss event \u2013 the Boston Gay Men\u2019s Chorus<\/strong>\u00a0makes its annual holiday trip to Town Hall, an event which always sells out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are a few traditions that have already cemented themselves into Ptown\u2019s holiday schedule on Sunday: The annual Drag Brunch at Bayside Betsy\u2019s<\/strong>,\u00a0and Gregg\u2019s Cookie Party<\/strong> (an astonishing assortment of sugary treats) at the Porch Bar<\/strong>. This year Strangers & Saints<\/strong> is offering a wine dinner series (this week\u2019s theme is Mediterranean Islands), so cozy up to their beautiful bar or grab a table.<\/p>\n

A-House.\u00a0 Art Show.<\/h4>\n

\"\"And there are no worries for those of you who love Ptown for the drinking, dancing, and nightlife. Friday night you can sing along with Billy Hough at the Porch Bar<\/strong> before hitting the Crown for the \u2018Tis the Season annual holiday drag revue hosted by Barbie Que and Anita Cocktail<\/strong>. There\u2019s also Jessie Malone at the Pilgrim House Showroom<\/strong>, the Holly Folly Cabaret<\/strong> at Tin Pan Alley<\/strong>, holiday classics and current hits with VJ Tom Yaz at the Wave Bar<\/strong>, Bobby Wetherbee<\/strong> at the Central House Cabaret, a holiday dance party at Purgatory<\/strong>, and the Annual Snow Ball at the A House<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bingo. Brunch. Billy.<\/h4>\n

And that\u2019s just Friday night. As in summertime, Provincetown visitors are spoiled for choice.<\/p>\n

Cabaret. Cocktails. Chorus.<\/h4>\n

On Saturday, Billy Hough<\/strong> is sing-along-ing once again at the Porch Bar<\/strong>, Zoe Lewis<\/strong> is playing piano at the Sage Inn, and the Gifford House, Crown, and A House will be opening their doors again<\/strong> for all you party boys<\/a>.
