Brandon Voss Launches Two Epic New Parties on Fire Island This Memorial Day Weekend

BY JASON SALERNO

Brandon Voss is one of Manhattan’s leading event planners. His company produces the annual New Year’s Eve Gala and Night of the Living Drag Halloween Revue, as well as hot ticket events featuring A-list stars including Lady Gaga, Cher and Caitlyn Jenner.  He regularly hosts high-concept parties at New York’s most exclusive venues, such as The Palace Hotel, W Hotels, Marquee and the Dream Downtown.

As part of the new owners’ plans to renovate and rejuvenate the strip of commercial real estate along the harbor of Fire Island Pines, his company, Voss Events, was tapped to bring weekly entertainment to the island.

“We’re working hard to bring The Pines back to its glory days, and excited about the possibilities of this collaboration,” says PJ McAteer, president of Outpost Pines.

“There’s a long history of success in combining New York City and Fire Island Pines resources and talent,” he says.

For Friday’s “BathHouse,” The Pavilion will be converted into a ‘70s style bathhouse with spa treatments, roman statues, towel dancers and scandalous new rooms to explore on the outdoor decks.    Saturday’s “Drag Brunch” at the Blue Whale will feature top drag personalities from around the world, including many stars from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

“This is only the beginning,” promises Voss, confirming that a new and improved pool deck will open on the island later in June. The pool is being made over into a chic, high-end day club with day beds, cabanas and landscaping to create a new daytime destination every Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

“We expect this to be a long and fruitful partnership,” Voss says. “We’d love to continue and expand our involvement in new events with Fire Island Pines.”
