Women's Week in Provincetown: Oct 8 - 14

Dancing with Mimi Gonzalez, WomensWeekProvincetown.com

Women’s Week in Provincetown means many things to many women. Whether it’s getting to see the best performers and comics in lesbian culture today, or just getting to walk down Commercial Street holding hands with that special someone, basking in the autumn sunlight and taking in the natural beauty of Provincetown, there is no festival on the planet that celebrates women like Women’s Week.

Starting on Columbus day each year in October, Women’s Week begins with events to welcome you and ease you into a Provincetown state of mind. The Welcome Party Monday night begins with a celebratory mood that extends through the following Sunday, with our famous Saturday Night Dance party a fitting crescendo to a fabulous week!

In between, there are so many events to choose from, you’ll have a hard time deciding. To help you out, there are copies of the Official Women’s Week Program distributed all over town before you arrive. In many colorful and beautiful pages, you’ll find details about what’s going on in the schedule, a listing of over 150 separate events, workshops, performances, gatherings, and parties.

New for this year, we’ll post news flashes on the news page — who will be performing, and when, as we hear about it! We will also add to our day-by-day schedule as the news develops, and the day-by-day listing can be found on our Schedule Page.

We’re thrilled to announce our Woman of the Year 2012, Irene Rabinowitz!
Irene Rabinowitz has been the Executive Director of Helping Our Women since 1995. She is a native of Providence, Rhode Island who lived in New York City for sixteen years before moving to Provincetown in 1986. Prior to working at Helping Our Women, she was a Case Manager and Housing Program Director at the Provincetown AIDS Support Group (now the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod) from 1989 to 1995.
