Complete Guide to WoCW’s 20th Anniversary Celebration

Provincetown’s summer calendar begins with one of its most empowering and community-centered events: Womxn of Color Weekend (WoCW). Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026, this multi-day gathering offers a unique space dedicated to women of color, trans, nonbinary, and gender-fluid people of color, alongside welcomed allies.

Held from June 3-8, 2026, WoCW transforms Provincetown into a vibrant destination for workshops, social events, wellness experiences, nightlife, and intentional community-building. Combining the beauty of Cape Cod’s most iconic seaside town with purposeful programming, this annual event has become a cornerstone of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC celebration.

Why Womxn of Color Weekend Stands Apart

Unlike a typical festival weekend, Womxn of Color Weekend is intentionally designed to center community empowerment, representation, and inclusivity across a broad spectrum of gender identities. Through thoughtfully curated programming, WoCW creates space for intergenerational dialogue, cultural celebration, healing, and personal restoration.

Its mission extends beyond entertainment, fostering solidarity and creating opportunities for deeper connection among attendees from diverse backgrounds.
