Family Week in Provincetown Turns 20!

Family Week - 20 YearsI’ve often argued that the history of LGBTQ families is longer than many think. One milestone of this history is that Family Week, an annual gathering in Provincetown, turns 20 years old this Saturday.

The event, the largest annual gathering of LGBTQ parents and their families in the world, is produced by the Family Equality Council and COLAGE, who have partnered to offer both social and informative programming for all ages.

What began as a small gathering of parents on the beach now attracts more than 500 LGBTQ-headed families with activities like a Children’s Movie Night and PJ Party, a Multi-Racial Families Ice Cream Social, a Beach Picnic and Campfire, and a “State of the Movement” discussion featuring Family Equality Executive Director Blau and Director of Public Policy Emily Hecht-McGowan.

Special guests include:
