What's that noise? It's the sound of your gay little heart exploding!

Hillary Clinton is headed to Provincetown August 21 for a fundraiser and will have a very special attendee: Cher!

Bryan Rafanelli, a Boston-based event planner, told the Cape Cod Times 500 people are expected to attend the "rally-event," which he will co-host.

"She's going to celebrate the amazing diversity of Provincetown and our country," Rafanelli, who was also in charge of Chelsea Clinton's wedding, told the newspaper. He added his team is still working on a location and exact time for the event.

Rafanelli planned a similar event for the Democratic presidential nominee last year, with 350 people attending. He said there is more interest in the upcoming fundraiser, however.

One of those excited to go is Cher, who endorsed Clinton for president in June.

Town Manager David Panagore told the Cape Cod Times Clinton is popular in Provincetown due to her support of LGBT rights.

"She's a strong supporter of many issues that are near and dear to the community here," he said, later adding that, with the addition of Cher, the event will be a huge success with locals.

"It could mean there could be a lot of Cher impersonators on Commercial Street that weekend," Panagore said. "It's going to be a very big draw, and somebody that a lot of people would like to see."

Clinton will also appear at fundraisers on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket before her Provincetown stop.
