Daddy Days Returns To Provincetown

After a successful launch last year, Daddy Days is returning to Provincetown for the week of August 10th - 17th. The event is again sponsored, unsurprisingly, by the website DaddyHunt. Via press release:
"The success of last year's DaddyDays showed us how much we needed an event like this,” says Carl Sandler, founder of Daddyhunt. "Love and sex aren’t limited by age. With Daddy Days, we bring together not only daddies and daddy hunters, but guys that enjoy a broader definition of community. It's an incredible week, and we're excited to see it grow.” Provincetown Daddy Days kicks off on Sunday with a sweaty, sexy dance party at the historic Gifford House. Events continue throughout the week, including parties at the Vault, Crown & Anchor, Paramount and the Brass Key. For the second year in a row, the center of the action will be at the host hotel — Crew’s Quarters on Commercial Street. “2014 is the Year of the Daddy,” says Sandler. “From Dustin Lance Black and Tom Daley in the news to Dom and Lynn on Looking, gay men are seeing that sex appeal only grows with age."
At this year's Bear Week, several of my friends estimated the average age of the attendees as in the mid-high 40s. I'm told that last year's Daddy Days drew a slightly older crowd.

RELATED: DaddyHunt was founded by Chris Turner, who met his husband Armistead Maupin through his own site. Turner sold the site several years ago.

Daddy Days Launch In Provincetown

Hot on the heels of long-running and wildly popular Bear Week comes Daddy Days, Provincetown's first get together for older gay men. The event is sponsored, unsurprisingly, by the website DaddyHunt. Via press release:
Gay social network Daddyhunt.com announced that it will kick off its first annual Provincetown Daddy Days this Saturday, August 10th. The week-long event will be a celebration of gay men of all ages, featuring parties, dinners, performances and tea-dances at locations across Provincetown. "We wanted to find a way to bring together the strong, smart men who helped build the gay community we know today,” says Javier Cobo, Community Director for Daddyhunt. “We've seen historic changes in the past few years politically, and it’s time for us to realize we're maturing as a community as well. Love and sex aren’t limited by age. With Daddy Days, we’re hoping to bring together not only daddies and daddy hunters, but guys that enjoy a broader definition of community.”
Bear Week already draws a nice number of older guys, so it'll be interesting to see how Daddy Days works out. If you go, send us your thoughts.
