With special guest host Bianca Del Rio, and the return of Ice Palace’s own Mama Morton Ariel Sinclair. This year the celebration of all things drag has been moved to Saturday September 2nd so as to not be in competition with Bushwig.
Saturdays Nardicio is thrilled to finally be able to bring back glamour to The Ice Palace with shows by legends Marilyn Maye, Paula Poundstone, Patti Lupone in Songs from a Hat, hugely popular jazz band The Hot Sardines and Chita Rivera who will celebrate her 70th year in show business at the Ice Palace! Plus Provincetown darling Dina Martina and America’s Got Talent’s own Ada Vox.
The Broadway Sings Concert Series, founded in 2012, that rei-magines, re-arranges & re-orchestrates the tunes of pop superstars and which the New York Times called “sheer brilliance” will be gracing the Ice Palace stage twice this summer Thursday nights.
Alternate Thursdays The Ice Palace presents Drunken Musicals. This fun, 90-minute interactive show for audiences 21 and over takes highlights from your favorite musicals and sets them to a parody script, so that even your favorite non-Broadway lover will understand the premise of the show. The actors are challenged to perform the show while the audience has the ability to send them shots. The sobriety of these actors is completely in the audience's hands. Drunk Musicals performs parodies of Wicked, Beauty and the Beast, Chicago, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, and many more. Half scripted, half improv, you will never see the same show twice.
And it’s the return of The Pool Show with “Heart of the Ice Palace” Ariel Sinclair and dancing diva Brenda Dharling on Saturdays and Sundays. With special guests.
Calling all boozehounds! Daniel Nardicio will be hosting Yappy Hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6pm. You can put your pooch in our outdoor playpen with kiddie pool, relax with friends and enjoy one of our signature espresso inspired cocktails while your pup gets to play with your neighbors’ pets. Nardicio held this at his former nightspot, Club Cumming, calling it, a “yappening!”
Wednesdays for sunset they bring you Wine and She’s designed for discerning palates and delicate sensibilities. This weekly wind-down will offer wine tastings from local Long Island wineries, curated gourmet cheeses and live music with a more adult, sophisticated setting. Join them for a Building the Board event Saturday May 13th 5-9pm when they hold a wine and food tasting from gay-owned and operated McCall Wines (North Fork, Long Island) to choose this season's wines, meats and cheeses for Summer 2023 charcuterie.
Music by The Dulcetones.

If you like to put a little Donna in your Summer, then get ready for Sunday afternoon. The Ice Palace stands on the site of Fire Island’s first tea dances, held at Duffy’s and before that, Perkinson’s Inn & Hotel.

On Sundays our resident historian and “Palace Priestess” Ana Matronic presents Love Unlimited Tea from 4-8, spinning classic sounds from disco’s golden age to seal the weekend with a kiss. Love is the message, after all!
