  • Trailblazers Park℠

    Trailblazers Park℠ was completely funded by the charitable arm of FIPPOA/Fire Island Property Owners’ Association, The Pines Foundation, in part with funds raised from the 2021 Pines Party celebration.

    “Trailblazers Park℠ represents the Pines Community’s commitment to being a welcoming place. The Pines strives to be an inclusive destination for all, especially our trans brothers and sisters, and people of color. Trailblazers Park is dedicated to future generations as well as continuing to uphold the incredible history of the Pines to make sure that all key players who fought for equality, equity, and liberation are continued to be honored and remembered.”

  • Protecting our Seashore

    We are committed to being at the forefront of eco-conscious festival events. Our initiatives focus on:

    1. Minimizing plastic waste by providing recyclable cups and refillable water bottles.

    2. Collaborating with local refuse and recycling contractor to significantly increase our diversion and recycling rates year over year.

    3. Returning the beach to its pristine, natural condition through an intensive post-event clean-up effort.

    In support of the Seashore Defense Fund and its stewardship of our beach, Pines Party is also underwriting a portion of the costs of a new double-row of protective serpentine dune fencing. When Pines Party 2022 is over, we intend to leave our newly replenished beach cleaner than we found it!
