Provincetown Carnival 2024: Today's schedule has boozy tour of Outer Cape, salsa dancing

It's Day 4 of Provincetown Carnival Week. Today's schedule includes the Watership Inn party, bingo and a boozy tour of the Outer Cape.

The Renaissance X Revolution-themed week for 2024 runs from Aug. 17-24. The tip of Cape Cod is expected to be packed with rainbows, feathers, big hair and plenty of costumes with nods to Marie Antoinette and Beyoncé.

In addition to the much-anticipated parade down Commercial Street Aug. 22 - no beads! - the week features pool parties, dance parties, drag queen shows, opportunities to dress up and a boat cruise, to name a few of the summer, celebratory things to do.

We will bring you an updated list of things to do each day of Carnival.
