Event summary

Highlights

  • Grand Cultural Show

The festival is organized by Ranwala Balakaya and is specifically aimed at third and fourth-generation Sri Lankans living overseas who may have limited direct connections to the country. The program seeks to foster lasting cultural ties and community engagement through a mix of performances and social interactions.

The schedule features two major components: a Grand Cultural Show on the first day, followed by a Sri Lankan Social Day on the second. The social gathering brings together international dance groups, local families, and youth to encourage friendship and cultural exchange. Coordination is led by the Presidential Secretariat and the Clean Sri Lanka Secretariat, with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
