Pako Festa is Victoria’s premier free multicultural festival, held annually in Geelong West’s iconic Pakington Street. From its humble beginnings 40 years ago, Pako is all about community. The event celebrates and highlights the extraordinary contribution of individuals, cultural groups and multicultural communities in Geelong and across Australia.
Managed by Cultura, this festival is the biggest of its kind in Australia! It includes an extravagant street parade which forms a sea of colour and costume, with hundreds of performers bringing the street alive and representing local community groups, schools and organisations.
When: Saturday 24 February 2024, 10am–12.30pm (parade begins at 11am).
Where: Corner of Pakington Street and Waterloo Street, Geelong West.

There’s also limited spots to march in the parade with Deakin as a celebration of our diversity – see our recent blog for more info and register by 16 February!
