The beloved Provincetown tradition is back for its ten’s year! Starting the day after Thanksgiving and running until New Years, the Canteen transforms into a magical, cozy place to gather, enjoy holiday foods and drinks, and buy handcrafted goods from local artisans. This year, we will be offering several different experiences for you to enjoy — all in one trip or over several outings to our little “village.”

BACKYARD BAR & specialty FOOD court

The Canteen’s beach bar transforms for the holidays, complete with twinkling lights, snug blankets, fire pits & steaming mugs of holiday drinks to warm your bones. Embrace the European way! order a hot toddy, a hot mulled wine or a hot chocolate with whipped cream, and some holiday street food, find a cozy nook to sit and enjoy the season with a blanket and friends!

Local Vendors

Each day of the market features 26 local vendors, ranging from local woodworkers & jewelers to painters, leatherworkers, & clothes makers. This is not your grandma’s craft fair, you have to see the talent out there!

The canteen

The Holiday Market is in the back, on the beach, but inside Canteen, the festivities continues! All the spaces are decorated, and the food and drink menus are reflecting the season and feature lots of specials. Think: bargain wines, seasonal cocktails, share plates, seafood boils… in a convivial fishing shack transformed for the holidays. Check out our menu page for specials!

private parties
