    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.
