Festa-tastic on Pakington Street

DIVERSITAT Pako Festa was held last Saturday and is the largest free celebration of cultural diversity in Australia.

Every year since 1983, Pako Festa has gathered together thousands of people from Geelong’s local and cultural communities, professional performers, community groups, schools, businesses, street traders and artists from all walks of life for one huge, amazing street party to celebrate our multicultural community.

The free event was held on Pakington Street in Geelong, and open to all ages.

Visitors were treated to a diverse range of food and drink, a parade along Pakington Street, dancing activities and performances, appearances from Channel 7 stars, among many other activities.
