Since 1999, when an Arabian tent city arose like an oasis along the shoreline of Fire Island, Pines Party has become an annual tradition that has evolved into a weekend-long event. More than just an all-night dance, Pines Party is the community’s premier annual fundraising event, providing grants for two essential beneficiaries: the Stonewall Community Foundation and the Fire Island Pines Property Owners Association Charitable Foundation. Pines Party is very much a community-wide affair. Local builders donate their manpower and expertise to help construct a canopied dance floor, sponsor tents, restroom facilities, the main stage, a side lounge, bars, etc., while Pines residents bring their artistic sensibility, professional know-how and connections to bear on the design, personnel, planning and promotion. This year, Fire Island Pines joined Venice, New Orleans, Sydney and Rio as Pines Party ‘07 combined the bawdiness of Fat Tuesday and the glamour of Carnavale with “Desire! Pines Mardi Gras” on Saturday July 28th. The masked ball attracted over 3000 costumed (and masked) revelers on a hot foggy night. Pines Party has become a world-class event that attracts partygoers from around the world, as well as the support of major corporate sponsors. Read more about the Pines Party @ PinesParty.com >>
