Dads / Grandads / Decent Blokes!

Please join us for DADFEST24 - a celebration of you, our kids and our community.

We've got an incredible line up, from gourmet smoked meats from the charcoal barbecue, to craft beer and artisan spirits, to live sports on the big screen. There'll also be plenty of fun and games, with some friendly competition for those who want it.

Everyone's welcome! It's not just for Rainworth Dads, so bring your mates!

Mums / Wives. Girlfriends: This event falls just after Father's Day. Ditch the socks and give the man in your life the gift of an afternoon off with his mates!

Please note that this event is our major fundraising event for the year, as we have made a decision to only host the Rainworth Long Lunch every second year (the next Long Lunch will be in 2025). As such, we would love you all to come along to support this wonderful event and help raise valuable funds for our amazing school.

EVENT DETAILS

Time: 2:00pm to late

Venue: Rainworth State School Green Space

Ticket price includes: Entry to the event, an array of gourmet meats, plus entry to the decent prize draw!

Given this is a fundraising event, we like to be transparent as to what the ticket pays for and how much goes to fundraising. You may be surprised at how much it costs to run an event like this and some of the hidden costs you may not be aware of. Some of the fixed costs your ticket will pay for include bar staff, quality food and drinks, equipment hire and catering items, cold rooms, bins, signage, flyers, compliance letters etc. All remaining funds will directly profit the school and the final fundraising amount will be communicated a few weeks after the event once all expenses have been paid.

Note: if it rains, we'll have a plan!
