Hullabaloo (or "Hulla") was a rave promotions company based in Toronto, Canada. Hullabaloo was started in 1997 by DJ Anabolic Frolic as a way to promote Happy Hardcore music and the kind of event that got back to the roots of what a rave was. Each Hullabaloo party was highlighted by one of the most colorful and dedicated fanbases in rave history attended by patrons from around the planet. Motto: Diversity Our Strength Map of Ontario Counties, Toronto being red Area: 641 sq. ... Anabolic Frolic in a promotional photo. ...

Hullabaloo held a total of 44 events in 8 years, attended by over 100,000 people. Most of the events completely sold out in advance.
