Make it Rain
Freda's is throwing another one of its massive parties — but this time it's fundraising for bushfire relief.
Overview
Chippendale's art gallery and party venue Freda's is throwing another all-out bash this Feb — but this time it's for charity. Make it Rain lets you party into the wee hours, all while fundraising for WIRES and the Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities.
It'll all go down on Saturday, February 1 and feature live music, art auctions, market stalls and talks. Doors open at 6pm, with a Yikes! panel discussion starting at 6.30pm — this environmentally minded collective has gathered special guests Lucy Mann (CEO of 350.org Australia) and Glenn Morris (Farmers for Climate Action) for the night. Then, from 8pm–4am, a range of live acts will take the stage. Headliners include Babitha, Side Hustle, Keep it Disco and Dary & Lex Deluxe, to name a very few.
Freda's basement art space Down/Under will also play host to an art auction for the night. It features local Sydney artists Natalie Synnott, Presley Joy Paget and Nadia Hernandez and photographers Andrew Kaineder, Stephanie Simcox and Saskia Wilson — plus a special Freda's collab with artist Carla Uriarte. There will also be food and designer stalls, and donated merch from the likes of Misfit Shapes and Holiday The Label. All proceeds from any of these sales will go toward the charity.
Ten percent of the bar earnings will be donated, as well as all door entry fees. Entry will cost a tenner between 6–9pm and $15 thereafter. For those looking to give more, donation bins will also be scattered across the venue.
