Bear Week Provincetown FAQ

History and overview of our event.

Bear Week Provincetown was created in 2001 by John Burrows and the PtownBears organization to celebrate the Bear community, its admirers and those who just love hanging with the Bear community. It is a week of parties, BBQ s, charity events, lazy days at the beach or relaxing at one the 3 pools in town. Events are spread out across the entire town with each venue having different events throughout the week.

Want to explore the town on your own schedule?

All events are open to the public. You can check out any of the many dance clubs, piano bars and shows along Commercial St. and just pay that club’s cover charge or buy a ticket for a show. Traditionally, everyone ends their night at the nightly block party out front of Spiritus Pizza or catch a bite at one of the many late night pizza places or local food concessions throughout town.
