General Election Day is scheduled for November 4 this year, with early voting starting on October 25 and ending on November 2. Although 2025 does not include a Presidential Election, a midterm election, or a gubernatorial race, our local officials can greatly influence our lives through their decisions and policies.

MEET THE COVER ARTIST: Diane Keil of Women Sharing Art Returns

Posted on September 30, 2025
The Fire Island beaches look as beautiful as postcards with plentiful dunes and wide expanses, in part due to massive amounts of sand used to replenish them. And summer winds have been shifting sand back to the beach ever since Super Storm Sandy and other storms took big bites out of the shore.

Fire Island News Closes Out 2025 Summer Season with Labor Day Weekend Edition

Posted on August 28, 2025
Weekends are always shorter at the beach; fortunately, our memories are long. That was in evidence at the Davis Park Fire Department's Rock Memorial Ceremony, held annually to commemorate members who had answered their last alarm. Following a blessing by Father Frank, Chief Craig Beane read the names of those who served, including our own dearly departed, as gathered family and friends quietly shared stories.  Please support the Department in their fundraising efforts with a 400 Club Raffle Ticket. You can also inquire about signage for the beautiful new pergola outside the firehouse.

Davis Park Does the 4th

Posted on July 20, 2025
Summer tunes are in the air and making a splash in our July 18 edition of Fire Island News. Glyn Emmerson writes about the bands that jammed in Kismet and Atlantique over the July 4th Weekend. Robert Levine covered the world-class opera singer who recently performed at Whyte Hall in Fire Island Pines. Then, Rob Verbeck ventured out with his camera to catch the action at Alive After Five in downtown Patchogue. The music continues over the weekend of July 24 as the Great South Bay Music Festival comes back for its 17th summer in Shorefront Park in Patchogue Village. Omar Drissi gives us a rundown of what to expect for this upcoming crown jewel event in the Long Island music calendar. Fire Island News is also proudly working with the Great South Bay Music Festival on a special sweepstakes for our readers. One lucky person will win two VIP tickets to this extravaganza, featuring 55 performers on four stages over four days. No purchase is necessary to enter.
