'Stand strong together.' What Kamala Harris said about the election at Provincetown event.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is on Cape Cod.

Harris landed at Air Station Cape Cod in Bourne Saturday shortly before 1 p.m. and headed to Provincetown in a motorcade of SUVs for a Biden Victory Fund fundraiser at Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum where she is scheduled to speak at 3:20 p.m.

Bryan Rafanelli, event co-host and sponsor, told the Times in a previous interview that tickets for 'A Reception with Vice President Kamala Harris' sold for as high as $150,000 and the fundraiser is expected to raise "easily $1 million." Guests include Gov. Maura Healey, U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, State Sen. Julian Cyr, D-Truro Mayor of Boston Michelle Wu, Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride, who is widely known as the first transgender state senator in United States history, will also be in attendance, said co-host Alix Ritchie.

Special guests at the event are actresses Jennifer Coolidge, of the hit series "White Lotus," and Tony Award winner Adrienne Warren, known for "The Women King" movie.

Kamala Harris speaks to the crowd at Provincetown fundraiser

"We must be intentional about reminding people that they are not alone. We are all in this together," Harris said to the guests at the Biden Victory Fund fundraiser Saturday afternoon.

She told the crowd that to build a movement for progress they must "continue to stand strong together."

Harris said she was extremely confident President Biden will stand strong and be re-elected. "It is clear that Joe Biden is one of the most consequential presidents in American history."

Reception with Kamala Harris underway

As the fundraising event in Provincetown got underway, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu gave opening remarks Saturday at 3:15. Healey and Coolidge were among the speakers who were inside a tent adjacent to the Pilgrim Monument overlooking downtown Provincetown and the harbor. At about 3:45 p.m., U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg spoke on a stage in front of a colorful banner with "VPTOWN" on it. "It's time to double down and earn the victory of our lifetimes, during the election of our lifetimes," he said to exploding applause.

The motorcade carrying Harris arrives in Provincetown at about 2:30 pm

Vice President Kamala Harris' motorcade made good time arriving at 2:30 p.m. in Provincetown. The motorcade had at least a dozen vehicles, including state police, motorcycles and official SUVs with flags.

Cape Cod Times Reporter Rachael Devaney, who is among the media inside the fundraiser, said Jennifer Coolidge was just spotted. She arrived with her own escort. She was wearing comfortable shoes and carrying her heels in her hands. In addition to Coolidge and Warren, celebrity guests include Billy Porter and Darren Criss. Tony Award winner Warren will be performing.

According to a White House press release, 800 guests will attend.

Earlier in the day

At just before noon, a dozen attendees of the fundraiser gathered wearing casual attire and donning straw hats to protect from the sun. Both entrances to the Pilgrim Monument were blocked by black Secret Service vehicles and visitors were asking if the monument is open. There was one protester holding a red cardboard sign saying "Stop Funding Genocide" at the Bradford Street entrance to Pilgrim Monument.

Bethany Patten, of Boston, standing in line at the Bradford Street entrance, said she was attending because she does "a lot of work in climate change policy so I want to support any administration that's going to care about climate."

Patten added she hopes Harris will "give messages of hope" at the event.

"I'm very excited to just see her and hear what she has to say and see the other Massachusetts and Boston leaders who are here. It's an interesting moment and I'm curious what kind of message they have. I hope we're going to hear something unifying but also optimistic," said Watertown resident Jeff Burchard, adding there will probably be a lot of doors left open as to the future of the Democratic presidential race.

What other fundraisers have been held in Provincetown
