Red Ride is giving the community a chance to stand out in red, make some noise, and take a united stand against domestic violence.
The charity motorbike ride event returns to Caboolture Showgrounds on Saturday, 16 May and includes a car show and Family Fun Day.
Founder of Red Ride, City of Moreton Bay Councillor Tony Latter, said Red Ride started as a simple idea, bringing people together against domestic and family violence, but it had grown into something much bigger.
“Domestic violence thrives in silence, and Red Ride is about breaking that silence,” Cr Latter said. “When you see that many bikes on the road together, it sends a clear message.
“What makes Red Ride so powerful is that it’s driven by community. It’s about backing victim-survivors, challenging behaviour, and creating a community where people feel safe in their own homes.”
Community Action and Support for Domestic Violence Prevention
With May being Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, the Red Ride aligns with this year’s theme ‘Together Queenslanders can prevent domestic and family violence,’ aiming to raise awareness, highlight support services, and encourage community action to end violence and coercive control.
The Rotary Club of Caboolture has organised and hosted Red Ride since its inception. Thanks to sponsors, including principal sponsor Caboolture Sports Club, 100% of funds raised on the day will go directly to organisations that support people impacted by domestic violence.
Caboolture Rotary Club’s Kathleen Finter said the Family Fun Day had something for everyone.
“The best part is when the Red Riders return at around 12 noon – our bikers dress in red, so look for red tutus, boas, and maybe even Spiderman and Elmo,” Kathleen said.
“We have a rock-climbing wall, super slide, cup and saucer ride, and stationary motorbike ride for the kids.
“The Plumbdogs will be playing great music, there will be food vendors and market stalls. There is a car show and a display by the Pine Rivers Historical Motorcycle Club. All, including rides, for a gold coin donation at the gate.”
The ride starts at 8am, with the Family Fun Day and car show between 10am and 2pm. Register or find more details here.
