Irish Rainbow Gathering 2024 Magic Hat

The Magic Hat is a tradition within Rainbow Gatherings, where people can contribute to a communal fund to support the gatherings needs. At the Irish Rainbow Family Gathering in 2024 (July 27th - September 4th in the Slieve Bloom Mountains), the Magic Hat will be used to cover various expenses associated with organising and running the gathering.

These costs typically include:

1. Food and Supplies: Ensuring that there is enough food and necessary supplies to feed everyone attending the gathering.

2. Logistics and Transportation: Covering the costs of transporting supplies and equipment to the gathering site.

3. Infrastructure: Building and maintaining necessary infrastructure like kitchens and communal spaces.

4. Medical and Safety: Providing basic medical supplies and ensuring the safety and well-being of all the family.

5. Site Maintenance: Ensuring that the land is maintained properly during the gathering and cleaned up afterwards to leave no trace.
