To keep up with the community spirit, all Sri Lankan families overwhelmingly participated at this Sri Lankan event. A number of traditional games including ‘Avurudu Kumari’ and ‘Avurudu Kumara’ competitions were held with the participation of different contestants. Performance of Sri Lankan cultural items with traditional costume and preparation of authentic Sri Lankan food were highlights of the event.
