FIRE & ICE WEEKEND:  CELEBRATE ST. PETE PRIDE
WITH A GAY GETAWAY
6/23/2011 to 6/26/2011
 
St. Pete Pride is the biggest and best Pride event in Florida… and now you can make it the perfect beachfront vacation! Watermark Media and ALandCHUCK.travel are turning the retro-fabulous Postcard Inn into an all gay beachfront resort the weekend of June 23-26, with shuttle service to all St. Pete Pride events.
 
At Postcard, parties and activities will be non-stop. The weekend begins with a Thursday night Welcome Party that’s a benefit for TIGLFF. Bring your trunks and your favorite inner tube because there’ll be a “Floating Film” at sunset at the huge Postcard Inn pool. On Friday the weekend kicks into hard drive with the Fire Party featuring DJ Jeffrey and DJ CK. On Saturday, St. Pete Pride adjourns to the Gulf for the amazing Ice Party, featuring DJ Irene Pardo, DJ Power Infiniti and DJ Luis Perez and more eye candy than you can imagine. That night, the girls commandeer Postcard’s beautiful conference facility (and romantic deck overlooking the Gulf) for Saturday night’s Heatwave Party, featuring DJ Irene Prado. Everybody’s invited back Sunday for an all-day Beach Party, with more dancing on the beach and activities provided by Outings & Adventures.
 
With a limited-time discount, rooms start at $169 per night Friday and Saturday for up to four occupants. That includes shuttle service, continental breakfast and admission to all Fire & Ice Weekend events. For a real bargain, come Thursday or stay over Sunday for just $109 per night. Get more info and book your rooms at WatermarkOnline/Fire&Ice.
