CHARITY WALK
Saturday December 7, 2024
HOSTED BY
Melbourne Pasifika festival
The Melbourne Pasifika Festival (MPF) Committee regrets to inform our communities that the grant allocation for the 2024 MPF is insufficient to fund a large-scale event that brings together all the Pacific Island communities and the wider Australian community. The allocated grant does not cover the necessary infrastructure, event coordination, and entertainment groups.
As a result, the MPF is postponed to 2025. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you in 2025. Stay safe!
​
The Melbourne Pasifika Festival is an annual celebration of Pasifika Culture held on the first Saturday of December. The Festival and Charity Walk is organised by WFWP Australia, in partnership with Pacific Community organisations and leaders.
​
The Melbourne Pasifika Festival gives the people of Melbourne a day to enjoy Pasifika Culture through traditional food stalls, arts and crafts, children's activities, traditional and modern dance performances, live bands and more!
