Get ready to make the yuletide GAY in ✨PROVINCETOWN✨! 🌈🎄

We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our holiday season lineup—the Provincetown HollyGay Market! This exciting market will take place on Saturday, December 7th, at the Gifford House, right in the heart of Ptown, during the iconic Holly Folly weekend.

Holly Folly, the nation’s largest and oldest LGBTQ+ holiday celebration, began in 1997 as a way for the community to gather and celebrate the holiday season with chosen family in Provincetown. Today, it draws people from all over to enjoy an incredible mix of performance art, fine dining, and unique holiday shopping from the eclectic shops, boutiques, and galleries along Commercial Street. Holly Folly has become one of Provincetown's busiest themed weekends, attracting thousands of visitors each year.

This year, we’re excited to announce that the HollyGay Market will be part of the festivities, adding even more excitement to this already spectacular event!

We warmly invite both LGBTQ+ and ally vendors to apply and sincerely hope you will join us this year at the Provincetown HollyGay Market on December 7th!

  • Floor-length tablecloths are required for all display tables.

  • Additional stock and boxes should be stored out of sight under your display.

  • Your rented space must be kept tidy during operating hours, and your goods/displays must remain within your designated 6x4.5 area.

Tax ID Numbers are required in Massachusetts, and all exhibitors must comply with state and federal tax laws. This applies to both in-state and out-of-state vendors.
