Raindance Festival 2025 – Helping Our Community Recover After the Storm ️
This past weekend, Raindance Festival stood tall against the cyclone. We danced through the downpour, held the line, and kept the music alive until Mother Nature made the final call. When the storm forced us to shut down early on Sunday, it didn’t just end the party — it left behind real damage.
While we expected to take a hit as organisers (and had already budgeted for those losses), what we didn’t expect was the cyclone’s toll on the wider community. Stallholders, artists, and contractors who poured their hearts into Raindance were left with broken gear and costly repairs. That’s where this fundraiser comes in.
Your support will go directly towards helping those affected:
- Repairing or replacing stallholder marquees and stock
- Covering damages to artists’ laptops, instruments, and creative installations
- Supporting contractors with lighting, sound, and other essential equipment that was battered by the storm
Any extra funds raised will go into strengthening the site itself — road repairs and better infrastructure to protect against high winds in the future
✨ Raindance has always been built by the community, for the community. Every stage, every beat, every dancefloor moment exists because of the people who bring their passion, craft, and creativity to this festival.
This isn’t about covering our operational costs — those are on us. This is about standing shoulder to shoulder with the people who make Raindance so special, and helping them recover so they can keep doing what they do best.
❤️ If Raindance has ever given you a moment of joy, connection, or magic on the dancefloor, now’s the time to give back. No contribution is too small. Together, we can repair, rebuild, and rise stronger than before.
The storm may have knocked us down, but with your help — we rise again.
