Why we exist.

Because good music matters.
Because kids love to move.
And because parents don’t stop being cool just because they have kids.

My First Rave is about bringing families together around music, energy and joy — without dumbing it down or turning it into chaos.

Happy kids.
Relaxed parents.
Everyone dancing.

If this sounds like your kind of fun, share this post with someone who’d get it.

This isn’t a kids party. It’s a rave… just earlier.

My First Rave was created for families who love music, movement, and doing things together.

We bring:
✔️ Proper DJs - Andrew Levins
✔️ Real sound (at safe levels)
✔️ High-energy fun for kids
✔️ A space where parents actually enjoy themselves

It’s big energy, just wrapped around earlier bedtimes.

If this sounds like your vibe —
