Description:

Inaugurated in 2006, Sri Lanka Day Expo 2008, third of its kind will be held on Saturday, August 23rd 2008 at the 3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica from 10 a.m. through 10 p.m. Sri Lanka Day fulfills a very fundamental need of the Sri Lankan expatriate community in Southern California in that it provides a time and place for the celebration of Sri Lankan food, culture, arts, crafts, traditions, and businesses. The Food Court that serves Sri Lankan cuisine is the main attraction, not to downplay the entertainment stage on Wilshire corner, the Beauty Pageant stage on Broadway corner and the colorful parade (Perahera) that commences at Broadway and across to Wilshire along the Promenade.

There are more than 40 booths displaying many Sri Lankan art and crafts. Many Sri Lankan music groups in Southern California take part in the entertainment festival. Santa Monicans are eagerly looking forward to the third annual Sri Lanka Day Expo this year.
