Commercial Street, Provincetown · Provincetown, MA

Why you should go…

America's oldest continuous art colony pours all its color onto one skinny harborfront street: art galleries, drag cabarets, fudge and taffy shops, bookstores, and boutiques you won't find anywhere else. Grab a coffee, walk the whole length from the West End boat ramp to the East End galleries, and let the street entertain you. It's shopping as a spectator sport, and everyone's invited.
