RISE Day/Night Party

Overview

If you don't follow the AFL (or you do and you don't give a toss about either Collingwood or West Coast), you might be wondering what to do on this Friday's public holiday dedicated to the game. Of course, you could do basically anything — especially if you've got the whole day off work — but you may as well make the most of it with a big ol' party.

Section 8 is hosting a whole weekend of festivities, including a blowout day bash on Friday afternoon. A lineup of DJs — like Toni Yotzi, one half of Daydreams and Common Nocturne — will play into the night for a cause much bigger than your good times. All proceeds from the day will be donated to RISE, a refugee-run welfare and advocacy organisation for asylum seekers and ex-detainees. Entry is free, but you can make a donation at the door if you so wish.

The party kicks off at 3pm and will run right through until 1am.
