Fire Island's most iconic Fourth of July fundraiser returns to celebrate the legacy of our collective mamma: Dolly Parton. Dolly is not a theme, she is our thesis -- so stand by for a number of very exciting announcements, including our lineup, as we get closer to the event.

IndepenDANCE is an open bar, full-scale production event -- but we want to keep it as accessible as possible for our community. We are going on sale extra early in order to give you the opportunity to grab access at the lowest ticket price tiers in our Loyalty Presale. We also are not increasing advance purchase prices this year, because we don't understand inflation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As always, 100% of net proceeds from IndepenDANCE will be donated to organizations doing critical work in the LGBTQ community. In 2026 we raised over $45,000 for the Ali Forney Center, Trans Asylias and the Pines Care Center. How can you help us do better in 2027? Consider becoming a sponsor!
