​

Sunday Brunch: The Island Breeze is hosting bear weekend brunch for us 12 noon to 2pm on Sunday the 11th. They are doing a bear themed buffet style brunch and bear weekend inspired cocktails. Please be sure to check that out before you leave on Sunday.

​

The Weather: Fire Island has its own uniqe and somewhat unpredictable weather. The forcast can predict rain and it will end up being sunny on the island and raining on the mainland. I recommend bringing a sweater or hoodie to keep warm in the evenings. For the sexy clothing optional parties you can wear nothing at all if its warm or feel free to come in a onsie if its chilly. Pretty much anything goes whats important is your comfort.

 

Friday's D World Underwear Party and Saturday's Furball at the Ice Palace: Fridays DWorld Underwear Party at the ice palace is not included with your weekend passes and is not part of Fire Bear Weekend. However, it is a really fun party and underwear is required to enter. Tickets can be purchased at the door. Saturdays FURBALL is organized by Daniel Nardicio and Joe Fiorie and is part of the Fire island Bear Weekend line up. This party is included with the FIBW Platinum Weekend Pass Only. If you dont have a platinum pass you can purchase a ticket at the door.

​

Deer and other wild life: Leave them alone.... They will come for you!

​

Walking the MEAT RACK: I'm sure most of you know or have heard stories about what goes on in the meat rack and It's all true, D and A abound and so does poison Ivy but keep your witts about you. National Seashore park rangers patrol this area, and if you are found off the path doing the nasty you will get in some trouble.

​

HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE!!!!!!!

Thanks again for coming to our event and we hope you enjoy it.

Shane Tate and Danny J.
