46th Annual Carnival Parade: Renaissance & Revolution

August 5, 2024

The fun starts early in the day as more than 100,000 visitors and locals pour into the street to celebrate the 2024 theme – Renaissance & Revolution – showing off their incredible costumes as they wait for the Parade to begin at 3pm.

Winding its way down Commercial Street from the Harbor Hotel in the East End to the Coast Guard Station in the West End, this year’s 46th Annual Carnival Parade will again serve as a symbol of Provincetown’s inclusiveness, creativity and diversity.
