Provincetown in the Fall
Beautiful weather, great food, shopping, and events
Provincetown in the fall offers a relaxed charm, a deep exhale after the bustling energy of summer. The light that has lured artists here for more than a century is downright striking this time of year. Everything also becomes more laid-back. Restaurants that had lines spilling into the streets in the summer happily usher you to an open table. Stores have sales. And the weather gently welcomes a new season with temperatures in the mid-50s.
2025 Events
In the fall, you can snag a cozy window seat and still experience unforgettable events!, From Women’s Week, which manages to fit over 200 events, including comedy, music, and sports, in just 7 days and TransWeek, part learning experience, part social gathering, and part reunion, TransWeek (previously known as Fantasia Fair), is a full immersion experience – No matter who you are, no matter how you identify, you’ll feel at home at TransWeek.Later, during Halloween, the Town hosts haunted houses, costume balls, and contests.
In November, the Food & Wine Festival returns for a weekend full of tastings, music and a tea dance. On Thanksgiving Eve, locals and visitors gather to watch as more than 3,000 lights are turned on at the Pilgrim Monument, commemorating the Pilgrims’ first landing in Provincetown.
