Sri Lankan Cultural Festival and Food Fair celebrating the arrival of Sinhala and Hindu New Year 2024!
සිංහල සහ හින්දු අළුත් අවුරුදු උදානය 2024
The Sinhala New Year is a special time for all Sri Lankans to come together with their families and celebrate traditional customs. Last year, the Sri Lankaramaya in New Zealand organized the Avurudu Udanaya event, marking the first time such festivities were held there. It was a tremendous success, drawing in thousands of people to join in the festivities.
This year, on the 7th of April, we hosted the event once again, and it surpassed expectations. The celebration featured a variety of food stalls, cultural games, and vibrant performances of traditional dances and music. We were also grateful to have support from sponsors and community stores, adding to the joyous atmosphere of the event.
