2025 End of Year Celebration

Our End of Year Celebration party is happening and it’s going to be our biggest party this year!

The RDV End of Year Celebration is back and we’re closing out the year with a proper community party. Expect sunshine, food, laughter, kids living their best lives and Santa popping in like he’s moonlighting for us.

We’ll be taking over Caulfield Pavilion and the surrounding green space for an afternoon of easy vibes, good company and festive fun.

Everyone’s welcome. Rainbow dads, partners, kids, solo dads, future dads and anyone on the fatherhood journey. Whether you’ve been part of RDV for years or you’ve only been quietly watching from the sidelines, this is the perfect moment to jump in.

What to expect

• A relaxed afternoon to celebrate the end of a big year

• Potluck lunch

• Kids activities and room for the wild ones to burn energy

• Santa handing out gifts

• Plenty of space to lounge, chat and meet new dads

• A welcoming, judgment free group that gets it

What to bring

• A plate of food to share

• Your own drinks

• A wrapped and clearly labelled gift for your child if they’re taking part in Santa’s visit

• Sunscreen

• Your end of year spirit, even if it’s hanging on by a thread

Why come along

New to the group? You’ll fit in easily.

Still becoming a dad? You’re very welcome.

Got older kids? Bring them for the chaos and company.

Been around forever? You already know it’s a great day.

This is one of the most relaxed and joyful events of the year. Come celebrate with the people who get the parenting journey, the rainbow dad journey and the “I need a community” journey better than anyone.

Tickets

$15 per adult. Kids attend free.

This helps us cover venue and event costs so RDV can keep creating spaces like this all year.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
