Pines Party

Ever heard of a bash so sizzling that it makes even the sandy shores blush? Enter: The Pines Party, Fire Island's dazzling spectacle of sequins, beats, and pride! Picture this: thousands of jubilant gay men gather, not just to dance the night away, but for a cause that sparkles brighter than a disco ball. Nestled in New York's radiant Fire Island Pines, the Pines Party isn't just a party; it's the party, famed as the crown jewel of New York’s queer nightlife.

How It Began

The roots of Pines Party wind back to the days of Morning Party in 1983, a heartwarming initiative launched in support of Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC). This charity, still in its infancy, valiantly battled an ailment decimating thousands of gay men within mere months. But hang on, the tale doesn't stop there! The true muse of Morning Party was Beach '79, another iconic beacon of community generosity.

Where the Magic Happens in Fire Island

For the uninitiated, let's paint a picture of Fire Island Pines, affectionately known as "The Pines". This coastal gem is one of 17 bewitching residential realms nestled within the Fire Island National Seashore. With over 650 gorgeous abodes, 100 snug cooperative apartments, and a bustling central marina to its name, The Pines is where serenity meets festivity. And how does one get to this slice of paradise? A scenic ferry ride from Sayville, NY, is your ticket to the party of a lifetime!

Dance. Celebrate. Give Back.

But beyond the pulsating music and shimmering lights, the Pines Party proudly dons its charitable hat, directing its magic towards the Stonewall Community Foundation and local LGBTQ+ charities, both in Fire Island and NYC.

So, if you're yearning for a fiesta that blends beats with benevolence, look no further. Pines Party is where every twirl and toast makes a difference. Cheers to that!
