Greater Patchogue coverage is funded in part by New Village at Patchogue, offering open-concept rental residences with contemporary design in the heart of downtown Patchogue.
If the lodge was always your favorite part of skiing, Patchogue has you covered this winter.
Forget the skis, the boots and the five-hour drive to Vermont or Lake Placid — The Ski Lodge is bringing alpine après vibes straight to Patchogue with its second annual winter bash on Saturday, Dec. 27, from 1 to 8 p.m.
The winter-themed gathering returns to Drift 82’s seasonal venue after a successful debut last winter and is the result of a collaboration between event and promotional marketing companies Social Pressure and Two Social. The companies joined forces in 2024 to create a festive, all-ages-friendly way to fill the quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s.
“It’s all about giving people something fun to do between Christmas and New Year’s — a place to come together, reconnect, and enjoy the season, especially when you’re getting cabin fever,” said co-organizer Joe Gannone, founder and partner at Social Pressure.
Tickets range from $12.22 for the early bird special, to $34.44 for Tier 4 VIP access to the Dec. 27 bash.
“That’s when Drift 82 will be “transformed into a ski lodge,” organizers say.
It’s being billed as the “coolest” party of the winter.
Gannone said the idea began as a “crazy” collaboration that quickly turned into his favorite event of last winter, crediting John Sarno of Drift 82 for believing in the concept and taking a chance on hosting it.
Tickets for The Ski Lodge are available now.
Drift 82 is located at 82 Brightwood Street in Patchogue.
