are you in on Provincetown Family Week?
David on May 30th 2007
Provincetown Family Week is just around the corner! It seems like just yesterday we were parading the streets of Provincetown with our strollers and handmade “I love my family” signs! Last year was a spectacular success on every level: the workshops were powerful, the gatherings and special events were all a hit and the week instilled a tremendous sense of community for all of us. We laughed, we cried, we sang and we danced. And now we’re ready for the best year yet.
By now you know that Family Pride is partnering with R Family Vacations this year. And you know that there is no registration fee. Every family who travels to Provincetown for family week can participate. R Family Vacations will be doing what they do best by producing all the activities during the week (such as picnics, puppet workshops, dance classes, etc.) and we’ll be doing what we do best by bringing you a full array of guest speakers and workshops to maximize your fight for family equality. Our friends at COLAGE will be providing their programming again this year as well. You’ll need to register for COLAGE events on their website.
So what are some of this year’s highlights? We’re glad you asked. Here’s a small sampling of what the week will offer:
- Saturday: Sunset Family Beach Picnic
- Sunday: R Family Broadway Brunch (tickets required)
- Sunday: Family Pride’s Movie Night and PJ Party (for “r” little ones)
- Sunday: Broadway Belters @ the Crown and Anchor (tickets required)
- Monday: “Kiddie Shakes” – Shakespeare performance for kids!
- Monday: “Under the Big Top” Family Dinner (tickets required)
- Tuesday: “Classic Disco Family Tea Dance” (tickets required)
- Wednesday: Family Bonfire and Beach Picnic
- Thursday: “R-Mazing Race”
- Thursday: Family Pride’s Major Donor Clambake
- Friday: Farewell Luau (tickets required)
Though attending Family Week is free, some of the above events require tickets, all of which can be purchased through us. If tickets aren’t required, the event is free to the public!
In addition to these big events, there will be many gatherings and privately hosted workshops that you’ll be able to attend. Last years gathering included Families with Guatemalan Children, Families with Asian children, a Grandparents Tea and Families with children of African and/or Caribbean descent. We will keep you up to date on all the gatherings scheduled.

Hi,
I am attending Family Week for the first time. I am a single mom with 3 kids (only two are coming with me) and would love to connect with some other families prior to getting there. I’m not sure if I can put my email out on this blog, so if anyone out there is interested in connecting that would be great! Looking forward to the week….
Cheri, you should post a comment on the message board: http://www.familypride.org/parents/chat.html. You should find some other parents looking to connect on there.
Thanks, David!
Hmmm Beach Picnic, Bonfire, PJ party, Amazing Race - none of this stuff happened. A lot of promises and a lot of hype - not much delivered.
Wouldn’t you think that a circus event would have a clown or two or even one circus act? Oh well Rosie has got to pay for that big house in Miami some way - I guess charging $30.00 for a corn dog is one way to do that!
