Ascension Beach Party Weekend
Friday Aug 16, 2013
Fire Island Pines , New York
Over the past seven years, Ascension has become one of the major destinations for the serious (and glamorous — Fire Island ain't cheap) party boy. The signature event on Sunday afternoon brings over 4,000 people to dance and enjoy major talent on a makeshift dance floor that sprawls on the beach only a few yards from the Atlantic Ocean. The entire weekend, however, is full of events — from the Friday reception to a pool party, a tea dance on a dance floor jutting into Great South Bay to the Sunday closing party — and all are held at some of the most beautiful beach houses in the world. Proceeds benefit the gay philanthropic Fund in the Sun, a private foundation that benefits the community and various gay and AIDS-related causes. With top production quality, it's no surprise that some of the hottest men flock to Fire Island Pines to see and be seen. The Pines is justly famous as the most fashionable gay oceanfront community in the world. Ascension more than lives up to its reputation as the epitome of refinement, chic, and style.
