FIRE ISLAND THEATER FESTIVAL
A weeklong celebration of queer theater, history, and community across Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines.
September 2027
What is FIT Fest?
For decades, “theater people” — both as euphemism and in reality — have been at the heart of Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines. Now, through new theatrical work and community-centered events, FIT Fest builds on that legacy, exploring Fire Island’s rich history while asking urgent questions about its future. Presented by CHANGE Arts, this platform for queer storytelling is committed to connecting artists, educators, and communities through meaningful cultural experiences.
