Welcome to ALTAR EGO.

Presented by The Pines Foundation & Free Radical Design Group

Something ancient lives within us—in rhythm, in movement, in the way we find each other. What was once myth, what was once hidden, returns in a new form—claimed, defined, and celebrated on our own terms. 

This is not a world you enter.
This is something you become.

A night of music, transformation, and collective release—carrying us through to sunrise.

Come as you are—and as you choose to be.

Over the past 27 years, Pines Party has raised more than $4.8 million for its beneficiaries.

This is not just a party. It’s a ritual. A return. A moment we build together.
