Rave Relief wishes to acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, move and create. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and we strive to honor the trail-blazing brotherboys, sistergirls and LGBTQIA+ community who persevere while facing adversity and effects of colonisation. We are grateful for the opportunity to come together and celebrate on this country we are so lucky to call home. It always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.

6 YEARS OF RAVE RELIEF!
Welcome back our treasured Babes, Bxtches and Bottoms of Boorloo!
It's THAT time again, to strap-on your thing/thang/thong for a lip-smacking, ass-clapping round of ✨Pride Night Magíc!✨
Across the past 5 editions we have whirled, stomped and smized across dancefloors, cheered and shrieked at performances, tested the load-bearing limits of the stage, and, including our 2-year collaboration with Decolonise Pride in 2021 & 2022, we have fundraised and donated over $116,000 to near and dear charities, support services, and community initiatives.
We're coming back even bigger, bolder (and a little bit older) for Pride 2024, expanding beyond the heritage walls of The Rechabite into neighbouring venues to add further dimensions of flavour to your Pride Night experience.
More details to cum.

🩷 WHAT IS RAVE RELIEF?
Rave Relief is a lovingly curated pride party, filled with queer joy and alternative art & culture. We strive for a warm sense of community, and mutual respect and appreciation among attendees. We try our hardest to represent the modern values of our various communities and the wonderfully diverse people, tastes, and perspectives which make up the LGBTQIA+.
Rave Relief has run annually since 2019, including a 2 year collaboration with Boorloo Justice's 'Decolonise Pride' event in 2021 & 2022.

A respectful, consensual, supportive and loved-up atmosphere.
