Every Rainbow Deserves Its Place
ChillOut Daylesford Inc creates the magic behind one of Australia’s most beloved regional LGBTIQA+ festivals. For nearly three decades, we’ve transformed this picturesque Victorian town into a vibrant celebration of love, diversity, and community pride.
Why We’re Here
Our carnival isn’t just a party – it’s a lifeline. For many LGBTIQA+ people, especially those from rural areas, ChillOut represents something profound: a place where they can be completely themselves, surrounded by acceptance and joy. We’ve watched shy teenagers find their confidence, isolated adults discover their tribe, and entire families celebrate together.
The Challenge
Right now, ticket prices create barriers. We see people who desperately want to join us but simply can’t afford it. Parents choosing between groceries and bringing their queer kids to a place where they belong. Young people missing out on connections that could change their lives.
This breaks our hearts. And we’re determined to fix it.
Our Mission: Free by 2027
We’re working towards making our carnival completely free by 2027. Imagine it – no financial barriers, just pure celebration. Everyone welcome, everyone included.
But we can’t get there without you.
Your Impact
Every dollar you donate directly reduces ticket prices and removes barriers:
• $25 helps a young person attend their first Pride event
• $50 supports accessible facilities and services
• $100 sponsors a family’s entire carnival experience
• $250 funds community outreach to rural LGBTIQA+ groups
Join Our Rainbow Coalition
When you support ChillOut, you’re not just funding an event – you’re investing in belonging, acceptance, and the radical act of celebration. You’re helping us prove that love wins, community matters, and everyone deserves their moment to shine.
Together, we’re building a world where every rainbow has its place.
