Instead, Family Equality will create events for the entire family to connect with other families. We will also share local activities in and around Provincetown during Family Week. Family Equality is working to plan virtual “Family Week” activities throughout the whole month of July so that people can participate in the Family Week fun even if they can’t travel to Provincetown. – PtownFamilyWeek.com
