Celebrate Pako Festa
Saturday 22 February, 9-5pm
Cultura’s Pako Festa is Victoria’s largest free multicultural street festival and continues to celebrate Geelong’s diversity through the magic of food, dance and music along Pakington Street, Geelong West. The street is lined with authentic food from around the globe and we invite you to a feast of the senses as you sample and soak the unique atmosphere on offer.
The Street Parade, one of the major attractions of the event, will kick off at 11am and is shaping into one of the most colourful, vibrant displays of communities for its 43rd year. Established in 1983, Pako Festa is a spectacular cultural experience and continues to be a highlight on the Major Events Calendar.
From 12.30pm, the event stage program features over 40 acts across five outdoor stages. So look out for the chill out spaces to rest up and soak up the community spirit.
After its great success last year, the Global Craft Market is returning to the Geelong West Town Hall. Be sure to visit and discover unique cultural handcrafted items from 12 pm.
