Pride season is ready to empty its Big Bountiful Load upon us,

(Keep it respectful tho!)
🗑 When: Saturday 28 Nov 2026 (Pride Night), 8PM – 3AM.

What is Rave Relief?
Rave Relief is a grassroots, non-commercial charity event that has been running as part of Boorloo (Perth’s) Pride celebrations since 2019.
It’s a lovingly curated alternative queer celebration, built by and for the community.
We strive for inclusivity and to represent the contemporary values, tastes, and perspectives from the wonderfully diverse people which make up the LGBTQIA+SB.
Across the past 7 editions backed by an ever-morphing assortment of talent and crew: we’ve stomped, squealed and smooshed together through countless DJ sets and drag acts, toilets queues and cheeky pashes and, including the 2 years we joined forces with Boorloo Justice’s Decolonise Pride in 2021 & 2022, we’ve raised and donated over $146,000 to charities and causes supporting queer youth, trans care, Indigenous services, crisis accommodation & local outreach programs.
Again this year, we commit 100% of event profits to go to local causes, chosen with consultation in the community.
What Awaits Us?
♺ DJs - disco, house, techno, electro & club classics
♺ Performances - drag & performance artists on the big stage
♺ Friend-making fun early on the rooftop

Sooo… come solo, as a twin-pack or bring your gaggle of glittering ferals. It’s time to go all out with your tiddies and pretty bitties out (but actually please keep concealed: your nips, dix, clits, and booty slits – at the behest of the sternfaced WA liquor licensing laws. Thanks!)
