Daytime Activities
Fantasia Fair under the Sun
Daytime at the Fair offers an amazing number of options and opportunities. Every day there are usually three
workshops and seminars offered in the morning, three in the afternoon. and a key note speaker after lunch every day.
In recent years, fairgoers have learned about such diverse topics as "developing a feminine voice," burlesque dancing,
the effects of hormones, hair and wig care, and political activitism. Also there have been special daytime events such
as art exhibits, "high tea", and poetry jams. The possibilities for leaning about yourself, what you do, why you do it,
and how to do it better, are limitless.
Well-known people in our community, and people who just have something to say, are there to talk with you, learn together,
and share. They are as interested in what you have to say as you are in hearing them. If you want more details about the
daytime speaker programs, it’s readily available right here.
There are many other possibilities at Fantasia Fair if you are not attending a workshop, or if you feel like a change.
First of all, there’s the simple pleasure of exploring P'town itself. It’s a very old fishing town that is
one of the oldest continuous residencies in the US. In fact, it’s Provincetown where the Pilgrims first landed, and

of art galleries and quaint boutiques. And, gals, there’s shopping. You will be arriving in Provincetown at the end
of the season, and everything is on sale. There are stores that sell beautiful women’s clothing, objects d’art,
books, women’s clothing, music, jewelry, shoes, women’s clothing. T and sweat shirts, and did we mentions
women’s clothing? And it’s all at outrageous end of season prices.
The bicycling in the area is some of the finest in the world. Largely flat, there are roads and trails that will take you
to the magnificent beaches and dunes that border the ocean. If they haven’t closed for the season, and you’re

a couple of girls, and asking for a tour.
