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 the 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 for another lip-smacking, ass-clapping round of ✨Pride Night Magíc!✨

Across the past 5 editions we have whirled and smized across dancefloors, cheered and shrieked at performances, tested the loadbearing limits of the stage and, including our 2-year collaboration with Decolonise Pride, we have raised over $116,000 for charities, services, and community initiatives.

We're coming back even bigger 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.
