What an incredible celebration at the 2026 Pako Festa Parade and Cultural Dance Performances! This year’s parade theme, “Many Communities, One Street: Celebrating Identity with Pride,” perfectly reflected the spirit of unity and cultural pride shared by all communities in Geelong.
Take a moment to admire these beautiful photos captured during Pako Festa 2026, where we proudly celebrated the vibrant culture of Nepal. From stunning traditional costumes and artistic displays to enchanting music and cultural dance, each image reflects the richness and beauty of Nepalese heritage.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Consulate General of Victoria and the NRNA Victoria President for joining and supporting this important community event in Geelong.
A huge congratulations and heartfelt appreciation to Newa Pucha for showcasing our historic musical traditions to the wider audience and proudly becoming the Winner of the TAC Pako Festa Street Parade – Best Musical Category among more than 55 local community groups!
Our deepest gratitude goes to all the dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this event so successful. Special thanks to our beautiful Kanyas with Kalash and all performers who presented the cultural showcase on stage and represented Nepal with grace and pride.
Thank you to everyone who helped capture these cherished moments, preserving the beauty, joy, and spirit of this cultural celebration for years to come.
Proud to share Nepalese culture with the wider Geelong community.
