Veteran Provincetown performer, lifelong visitor and passionate animal lover Lily Tomlin returns to Ptown on Saturday, Aug. 29 for a one-night-only show on MacMillan Pier to benefit Pilgrim Bark Park, the a new, non-profit, off-leash dog park and animal welfare resource.

Called "The D Word: A Top Dog Event," Tomlin is slotted to perform "Classic Lily" at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29. Prior to the show, host and comic Kate Clinton kick off the evening with a silent and live auction at 5 p.m.

Hungry pilgrims weren’t the only cargo aboard the Mayflower when it made its first New World landing in Provincetown in 1620--at least two dogs were on board as well.

Today, Provincetown remains one of the most welcoming canine retreats, with more than 30 pet-friendly places to stay, off-leash beaches and trails and doggie-friendly patio dining. Opened in 2009, The Pilgrim Bark is solely supported by volunteers and private donations. It was established to reflect the town’s love of dogs and provide animal welfare resources to the community.

The park also reflects the town’s long history as a thriving artist colony as evidenced by the benches and dog houses designed and painted by local artists.
