Location: Provincetown, MA 02657
“Our sons Dominic (age 6) and Chris (age 4) get very excited for Family Week each year and rave about the face painting, the bouncy house and being able to see all of their friends! Weeks in advance, they even pretend they’re driving to Ptown! My partner and I love to see our children as excited as we are to get together for a fabulous week of fun, celebration, and pride.” -Shelley & Diane
Online registration closes Sunday, July 22.


Family Week an entire week full of family-friendly events – beach campfires, picnics in the park, Parent & Youth Cafés, movie screenings, athletics, arts, a family parade and dance, and more! Family Week also offers unique opportunities for LGBT parents and their children to come together to: 
  • Create life-long connections in support of one another
  • Share stories that will open other hearts and minds in their own communities
  • Raise their collective voices to create social justice for all families

Now, in it's 17th year, Family Week is being presented as part of a series of community events that will honor Family Equality Council's 30th anniversary- a year-long national celebration during which we will unveil a renewed commitment to create a better world for our community of LGBT lives.

New Yorkers have the Hamptons, Bostonians have “the Cape.” There’s so many places and towns to explore on Cape Cod. If you like walking and hiking to take in nature and the area’s scenery, the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce has a great page with 100 public walking trails on Cape Cod. The Chamber of Commerce also offers a free app, with the latest events, where to stay and eat, as well as local deals.

For the LGBT community, Provincetown is the place to be. But it’s also a must-stop destination for whale watchers and other marine life lovers, since Provincetown is also the closest place to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. This is a great place to whale watch.
If you’re looking for a little day trip or a weekend getaway, explore “the other Cape,” which is just a 30 mile drive north of Boston. Founded by the pilgrims in 1623, this beautiful stretch of coastline along Massachusetts includes four communities – Gloucester, Essex, Rockport and Manchester-by-the-Sea. Film buffs might recognize the area because the “Perfect Storm” was filmed here. Cape Ann boasts America’s oldest seaport and art colony.
