Phat Rager 2.0

When the young people tell us that Phat Rager in Yankalilla was ‘pretty good,’ what do we do? We put on another one!

Through a partnership with the Myponga Progress Association, the idea of the 'Phat Rager 2.0 Myponga Style' became a reality.

Thanks to the amazing volunteer support from the Myponga Progress Association, it was another great night out of dancing and fun for young people, hosted at the Myponga Hall.

DJ Hazzman provided the entertainment and has a talent for reading the crowd to deliver a great mix of music and get the good times rolling. This set the scene for plenty of dance battles and funky moves! The Myponga Hall was the perfect venue with a fairy light ceiling, comfortable pockets for chilling out and an outdoor area to escape to for a few moments if the excitement on the dance floor was getting too much.

What is a Phat Rager?

A Phat Rager is all about giving young people an opportunity to make social connections, dance and have fun in a space where they can express themselves.

Thanks to the input of the Yankalilla YAC (Youth Advisory Committee) - who developed the concept themselves and came up with name ‘Phat Rager’ – Council now have a successful ‘disco’ (but don’t call it a disco!) model that can be rolled again in the future.

We have received excellent feedback from the young people, their parents and the community people that helped keep everyone fed and safe. Events like these help our youth have positive experiences with their peers, community leaders and in the place,  they live.
