Come and support the Ukrainian community! 
Since the beginning of Pako Festa in 1983, the Geelong Ukrainian Community have proudly paraded the street, danced on stage and sold our traditional food to thousands of people attending the popular cultural festival.
On Sat 25th February, Pako Festa is back, and we ask our community to continue our presence and proudly support us at the festival, especially in the year that we have experienced.
