☀️ Family Week Day 4: Agenda, Updates, and Reminders

What a splash! Beach Bash is one of our personal favorites and we are so happy you could join the wave of awesomeness. It was one of the coolest events of the week for sure BUT free up your calendar tonight!

Let’s take over Commercial Street at Family Night OUT — ! It’s our mission to fill the street with queer joy and we’d love to see you there! Tonight at 5:30pm!

Feeling creative? Stop by our craft table at Family Night OUT for some quiet, casual family drawing time. Create a family portrait to contribute to our Portraits of Pride gallery and show the world that LGBTQ+ families are true works of art! (This is a great activity for families who might need some quiet time!)

Bring a beach chair or a blanket and enjoy a movie under the stars on the lawn next to the Provincetown Inn pool at 9pm! Food and beverages will be available for purchase at the pool bar! The movie we’ll be playing is Inside Out 2!
