For the second time in so many years, together with over fifty groups representing diverse communities that build up Australia, proud Slovaks will march the streets of Melbourne City at the 2012 Australia Day's Our Day Our March.

Wearing folk costumes from various regions of Slovakia, carrying a loaf of bread, salt and Slovak symbols, under Australian and Slovak flags we will march into Domain Gardens where Slovak activities stall will be set up for up to 10,000 visitors to learn about our nation and its presence in Australia.

Join the crowds and the Victorian Premier and Governor, and the Lord Mayor of Melbourne on Swanston Street for the official Flag Raising ceremony. Then, march with us under the Slovak flag along Swanston Street, over the river and into Alexandra Gardens.

At the Sumava party you will also get to learn more about the planned participation in the Australia Day: Our Day Our March. It is a chance for everyone to reflect on our community as a whole by seeing the many facets that make up the character of our country.

The group march and an activity stall is proudly organized by the Australian Slovaks' Association in Victoria. Please, express your interest to march under Australian and Slovak flags by using the contact form at http://vodafest.org/contact
