Last Sunday of February 24.2.13 we were invited to an ethnic/multicultural festival organised by Auburn City Council.

Stonozka represented the Slovak Community with the help of other members dressed in Slovak national costume.

In spite of the unfavourable weather forecast and a very rainy Saturday, we were welcomed by a beautiful sunny Sunday morning. The festival started with a parade in the streets of Auburn and culminated with several performances by various cultural groups on the stage in a local park. Of the several ethnic/multicultural groups Stonozka was the only children’s ensemble and their performance was welcomed with great enthusiasm and applause. Our national costumes and fujara aroused great interest and curiosity in festival participants.

Stonozka’s contribution to this event saw a successful promotion of Slovak culture and our community in Sydney.
