Provincetown Book Festival

September 29 thru October 1 at Provincetown Public Library

Celebrating the power of words to change the world and literacy to change lives, the Provincetown Book Festival is an annual weekend of programs that support the culture of books, writing and reading in Provincetown. Most of the programs are presented by invited authors who have recently published a book of fiction, non-fiction, poetry or plays. The Festival strives for inclusiveness and diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender. Festival programs emphasize conversations between authors, discussion with the audience, and other collaborative forms.

Generations Project is utilizing The Wilde Gifford House to educate us on our queer herstory Beloved & Bygone: Stories of Ptown Places Past. This is important work and we hope you can attend the Provincetown storytelling event.
