•OnlineVirtual Movie Night: CLAMBAKE (Women on the Net online)
OnlineHappy Women’s Week! Can’t make it to P’town this year? Then join Women on the Net for a virtual screening of the documentary that lays out the history of Women’s Week in Provincetown.
……….
SYNOPSIS …..
The year was 1984. A handful of entrepreneurial women innkeepers in Provincetown, Mass. gathered together with a mission: to figure out how they could entice summer guests back during the seaside town’s offseason. Without the luxury of social media, or even email, the women hand-wrote letters to all their past guests, inviting them to come enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery — with a clambake and some local entertainment thrown in. They called it “Women’s Weekend,” and over the next three decades, it grew into a full week of activities, spawned numerous other lesbian gatherings in Provincetown, and expanded into one of the most popular lesbian events in the world.
……….
COST: $5 or free for WOTN members
