By Steven Skelley and Thomas Routzong

How many times can we say it? We love Provincetown! This icon of diversity, tolerance and equality is just 120 miles from Boston on a gorgeous National Seashore on the outer most tip of Cape Cod. We highly recommend Provincetown as a year-round LGBTQ destination. It has a fascinating history, incredible beaches, natural beauty, whale watching, an eclectic arts and culture scene and world-class dining and shopping.

If you are searching for the perfect Spring 2016 destination, here are some of Ptown's signature spring events and celebrations:
