Revelers dressed in giant pink flowers, cookie monster tutus and costumes of every kind of rainbow as they filled Provincetown for the 44th Carnival parade on Thursday.
“Monsters, Myths and Legends,” was the theme, and the crowd included unicorns, fauns, gorgons, mermaids and other imaginary creatures.
The parade traced its route down Commercial Street from the Harbor Hotel in the East End to the US Coast Guard Station in the West End, Grand Marshall Mx. Justin Vivian Bond walked into a giant bed covered in hot pink satin sheets.
The week-long carnival celebration ends on Saturday. It has been produced by the Provincetown Business Guild since the organization’s founding in 1978.
