Who says Provincetown shuts down when summer ends? First Light rings in the New Year with a distinctly Ptown mix of parties, performances, shopping, dining, and chosen-family celebrations. The festivities light up Commercial Street before a spectacular New Year’s Eve drone show illuminates the sky over Cape Cod. And for those who haven’t completely exhausted themselves celebrating, there’s the annual Polar Plunge, when hundreds of brave souls dive into the frigid Atlantic on New Year’s Day. It’s a festive reminder that Provincetown knows how to throw a party in every season. Just remember, a Speedo is not winter clothing.
