The Australian bushfires have been raging for months, and the damage is unspeakable. In this, the darkest hour of an entire continent, we have to do what we do best: be a light. Tor Pax, 10PRL, Nicole Glendinning, and over 50 businesses, musicians, and artists from across the United States, Mexico, and Canada have banded together to donate their time, talents, and services to generate funding for the fire-ravaged areas of Victoria.

The RFS and Victoria Fire Service is exhausted, some working 20 hour shifts trying to hold back the burn. Some have reported that it’s the apocalypse – or that it feels that way.

And what does one do at the end of the world, if not throw a massive party to stand against it in bright, screaming defiance.

Join us on January 26th, bring your friends, your families, your neighbors, and your dance partners for a full day of #livemusic, #art, games, a silent auction including gift baskets from all over the country.
