Fire Island Bear Weekend 2019
The Fire Island Bear Weekend takes place every year in the beginning of June in the gay paradise of Fire Island. The Bear Weekend attracts gay guys from New York, across the USA and beyond as it grows to become one of the most popular early Summer bear events.
Events include the Bears Beach Day, the Bears and Beards dance party, the T Dance and Bear Ass Dance at the Ice Palace and Pool Party at the Belvedere Hotel.
The Mr Fire Island Bear contest is one of the most anticipated events taking place during the Bear Weekend. Events end with a huge circuit bear party, Dan Darlington and Peter Napolisexiest underground gear party BRUT.
Relax on Sunday with Brunch at Cherry’s on the Bay or with the Bear Soup pool party from 2pm.
Getting to & Getting around Gay Fire Island
Fire Island is a place where time has stood still to a certain extent because there are no cars and because you still have a small town ambiance where you walk or ride a bicycle and you see people and you stop on the corner and you talk to each other.
Ocean Beach is the island’s most populous village and is home to its biggest downtown, making it the unofficial capital of Fire Island that’s also among the area’s most popular destinations for visitors. About four miles east of Ocean Beach are these two LGBT-centric communities neighboring one another, locally known as The Pines and The Grove, which together form a gay mecca of sorts.
While both communities only have boardwalks as sidewalks, The Grove (more Lesbian Friendly) is only about a ½-mile- long while The Pines stretches nearly a full mile. The Pines (Gay Guys) is also home to the majority of the private pools on the island.
Besides its hopping nightlife at Cherry’s, The Ice Palace and elsewhere, The Grove is home to one of only two oceanfront restaurants on Fire Island—The Sandcastle at The Ocean. Revelers in The Pines bounce between Sip ‘N Twirl, the Blue Whale and the Pavilion.
