Provincetown is one of the most hip, vibrant, creative places on earth. With it's festive population of 4,000 or so, one finds true diversity and the freedom to be yourself. Artists, writers, poets, political malcontents and eccentrics of every sort flocked to Provincetown during the bohemian 50's and their legacy is still strongly rooted in the soul of Provincetown.
