Provincetown Portuguese Festival
Provincetown Portuguese Festival – June 26-29, 2008. Honoring Provincetown's Portuguese roots, the week long festival is held with music [including the Fado], dances and food. Long before Provincetown established itself as an art haven and prime summer retreat, Portuguese sailors have flocked to its shore and built a fishing community with Ptown giving these hardy fishermen and whalers perfect access to bountiful catch and Stellwagen Bank where whales flock for their summer feeding. The highlight of the festival is the blessing of the fleet. A Fishermen's Mass will be celebrated by Bishop George Coleman or his designate at the newly rebuilt St. Peter's Catholic Church for the fishermen of Provincetown. After the Mass, a blessing of the fishing fleet will commence at McMillan Wharf. This photo was taken in 2007 by Kathryn Smith www.flickr.com
