Matchworks Pako Festa 2008
23rd February 2008,
Pakington St, Geelong West.
For all the details http://www.pakofesta.com.au

Pako Festa showcases cultural diversity - via a smorgasbord of cultural food, folk dancing, the famous Pako Parade, workshops, art exhibitions, multicultural craft displays and entertainment on three world music stages in a 1-kilometer street festival. The festival is an opportunity for local and regional cultural groups to promote cultural diversity and educate the broader community of the beauty and enriching capacity of multiculturalism and community arts.

In its twenty sixth consecutive year of operation, the Pako Festa continues as a durable and much-loved, community festival making a significant contribution to our region through its annual celebration of the values of ethnic diversity, tolerance and harmony. Throughout the State and, indeed, the nation, there are very few community street festivals that can claim to have made such a significant contribution to the country’s social capital. Once again a largely community-driven, multicultural event created an opportunity for Geelong to become the focal point of significant state and regional interest, both media wise and in terms of visitation by corporate and Government representatives.
