With its neighbouring township Jeparit, Rainbow has a football team, Jeparit-Rainbow, competing in the Horsham District Football League. Rainbow has one school, Rainbow P-12 College at 17 Albert Street. Established in January 2015 from the former primary and secondary schools, it serves students from nearby farms and towns, from Years foundation (prep) to 12 (VCE). The former Rainbow Primary School for younger students was co-located to the site of the secondary college in 2011, in a new $3.5 million building. P-12 college was established following a process of community consultation. Golfers play at the course of the Rainbow Golf Club on Nhill Road. In November 2022, owner Graham Francis registered Australia-wide the name "King Charles III Hotel" after recently renovating the hotel and painting it light-blue with white accenting and establish an AirBNB. The hotel was established as the Kenmare Wine Saloon in 1894, before moving to Rainbow in 1906 when it officially became the Rainbow Royal Hotel.
