Preparations for the 2023 Provincetown Portuguese Festival & Blessing of the Fleet are currently underway. This year’s festivities promise to be a wonderful celebration of Portuguese heritage and the historic fishing fleet of Provincetown. Live music and dancing, delicious food, presentations by local fishermen, a crafts fair, and other exciting activities are in store.

The Fishermen’s Mass will take place on Sunday, followed by a procession to MacMillan Pier and a Blessing of the Fleet. Although there will be no parade this year, the schedule is filled with performances and special events that will make attending in 2023 a memorable experience.
