Provincetown in the summer is amazing enough — the Atlantic, the Lobster Pot, the Boatslip — but throw in hundreds of histute gays who like to have a good time, and you bring Cape Cod's playground to a whole 'nother level.

Provincetown Bear Week runs until July 20 with disco parties, tea dances, sunset cruises, yoga events, hiking trips, and sojourns to museums. Check out the full calendar here, and if you want to see some of the happiest bears of the summer, have a look below.
