Paige Turner opens a storybook and anything becomes possible — rainbows, live songs, kindness that saves the day, and everyone invited into the adventure. This Family Week favorite is all-live singing, storytime, interactive fun, and silly surprises set to music from Sesame Street, Disney, The Muppets, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and Dolly Parton. Fifty minutes of pure joy, followed by a meet-and-greet. Rated G; genuinely fun for all ages. This show sells out every year.

A wild, funny, and touching one-woman cabaret from queer icon Bitch—the legendary violinist, feminist force, and Kill Rock Stars artist. This electric show takes you through her punk dyke roots with Bitch and Animal, her indie rock ascent, and her reckoning with cancel culture, all wrapped in violin-laced pop and raw honesty about patriarchy and self-actualization. Fresh from an off-Broadway run, this is Bitch doing what she does best: commanding the stage with fearless artistry and aggressively joyful energy.

Michael Chapman takes the Post Office Cafe stage for an evening devoted entirely to the women who didn't just sing — they owned it. Pop royalty, Broadway legends, soul queens, country and rock goddesses: this is a genre-spanning celebration of the most powerful voices in music history, with Andy Lantz on piano. Soaring high notes, feverish passion, glamour, and unapologetic diva attitude — because one diva is never enough.

Australian cabaret virtuoso Kim David Smith—hailed by Broadway World as the "David Bowie of cabaret" and by The New York Times as the "male Marlene Dietrich"—brings torch-singing mastery to Provincetown. Expect bruise-hearted renditions of Marlene, Minnelli, Piaf, Judy, and more, reimagined in jazzy, Julie London-esque arrangements by award-winning pianist Tracy Stark. A night of slyly subversive cabaret for anyone who knows that the best songs are written in minor keys.

Provincetown's Carnival Parade rolls down Commercial Street, and the Post Office Cafe's patio is the place to watch it unfold. Grab a prime spot on the street, order a cocktail special, graze on passed appetizers, and soak in the music and energy as the parade passes by. It's the kind of afternoon that reminds you why this town knows how to celebrate.
