Fire Island Dance Festival

July 18-20
Fire Island Pines, Fire Island, NY

Fire Island Dance Festival will celebrate its 30th anniversary by bringing together captivating performances, breathtaking ocean views and a passionate community dedicated to making a difference on July 18-20, 2025.

Set against an awe-inspiring waterfront stage overlooking the Great South Bay, the festival unites the Fire Island Pines community in support of Dancers Responding to AIDS, a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Fire Island Dance Festival begins with an opening performance at 5 pm on Saturday, July 19, followed by a Leadership Supporter sunset performance at 7 pm, and a closing performance at 5 pm on Sunday, July 20

Beginning May 24, tickets are also available in person on weekends from 10 am-1 pm in the Fire Island Pines harbor.

Leadership Supporters elevate their festival experience with a kickoff performance and intimate evening cocktails on Friday, July 18. Coveted kickoff performance tickets are extremely limited. Leadership Supporters also enjoy their choice of the highly anticipated sunset performance on Saturday or priority seating at either 5 pm performance, as well as recognition on printed materials in the harbor and throughout the Pines.

The exclusive Leadership Performance will feature festival favorite MOMIX, the dynamic and athletic dance company renowned for its visually captivating artistry. MOMIX’s return for the festival’s milestone 30th anniversary is especially significant, as the dance company headlined the first Leadership Performance, marking a full-circle moment in Fire Island Dance Festival history.
