The Womencrafts moment of joy on the 1st day of Trans Week.

The annual Provincetown Women’s Week festivities returned Oct. 12-18 with a days-long slate of entertainment, gatherings, and a No Kings rally to mobilize voters. Provincetown also hosted Trans Week Oct. 18-25.
Early in Women’s Week, attendees watched two lesbian-focused documentaries: ESPN’s 2026 “30 for 30” film “Give Me the Ball” about tennis legend Billie Jean King, and “Mary Oliver, Saved by the Beauty of the World,” about the poet who won a Pulitzer Prize.
The week of events featured plenty of Dyke comedy — and comic Lea DeLaria was also on hand, delivering a music performance this year. Women’s Week activities also featured a continuation of the 50-year celebration of the Womencrafts Bookstore.
At the No Kings rally, demonstrators came equipped with signs denouncing President Donald Trump and urging individuals to vote in the midterm election.
