On every Friday after Labor Day since 1994, the historic and elegant sanctuary of Provincetown’s Unitarian Universalist Meeting House in the center of town has been the home of an event filled with music, celebration, life, memory, and joy. It is the annual CELEBRATION OF LIFE concert, free in every aspect of the word: free admission, free performances, free space, time and labor. It is Provincetown’s longest running free music festival. This year’s 26th annual event begins on Friday, September 6 at 8pm.

Hundreds of performers have shared their talents throughout the years. The Celebration of Life’s spirit is another expression of the legendary caregiving capacity that Provincetown’s people continue to express in their daily lives.

This year’s performers reflect a focus on international music and culture and include Paul Bisaccia, Alex Brewer, Laura Cappello, Chan Varon Collins, Peter Donnelly, Sue Goldberg, Billy Hough, Frederick Jodry, Zoë Lewis, Ken Lonergan, Zoran Matich, Mozelle, Hilde Oleson, Phoebe Otis, Jonathan Richardson, Scarbie, Christopher Sidoli, John Thomas, Janet Villas, Rev. Kate Wilkinson, Wendy Willard and other surprises.

The Celebration of Life concert is not a fund-raiser: it’s a FUN-raiser. The path to the front door guides hundreds of Provincetown’s extended community into the sanctuary where drumming fill the space. At precisely 8 pm, hundreds of colorful prayer ribbons rise up until they arch from the top of the trompe l’oeil ceiling to begin another Celebration of Life.
