Comedian Jimmy Tingle brings his “Humor for Humanity” to Provincetown on September 19, 2019 for a fundraiser for Provincetown 400 to bring the Mayflower II to Provincetown for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower Pilgrims’ first landing in Provincetown in 1620.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will support the Mayflower II’s week-long visit in September 2020 when the ship will be docked in Provincetown Harbor where visitors will have the opportunity to tour the ship. Provincetown 400 events also include re-enactments of the signing of the Mayflower Compact, a tribute to the Wampanoag nation and their contributions to Provincetown, the visit of 1,500+ members of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants in September 2020 and a fireworks spectacular on November 11, 2020 at the annual Lighting of the Pilgrim Monument. The Provincetown 400 Task Force is a committee of the board of the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum (PMPM).
