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 fulfilled 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, business and traditions. The Food Court that served great many items of Sri Lankan cuisine was the main attraction, not to downplay the entertainment stage on the Wilshire corner, the Beauty Pageant stage on the Broadway corner and the colorful parade (Perahera) that commenced at the Broadway and ambled across to Wilshire along the Promenade.
There were more than 40 booths in all displaying many a Sri Lankan art and craft supplementing the ever-dominating food court. Almost all Sri Lankan musical groups in Southern California took part in the entertainment festival. Santa Monicans are eagerly looking forward to the third annual Sri Lanka Day Expo this year.

Description:
Sri Lanka Foundation Awards Dinner/Dance remains the main attraction in the yearly calendar for Sri Lankan expatriates in Southern California. The grandeur and color that is essentially associated with this event attract many Sri Lankans and other well-wishers to this event at which, outstanding Sri Lankan talents and achievements are recognized and conferred deserving awards. Among the Sri Lanka Foundation laureates are some outstanding scientists, attorneys, medical doctors, artists, diplomats and businessmen. Each of the last five years, this event has been held to a full house, ladies displaying their splendid saris and lengas while gents are usually clad in elegant black-tie attire.
The most intriguing feature of the event is the mystique of the evening very professionally captured by the clockwork precision with which the flow of the event is choreographed. The decision to go global in the context of the awards has paid rich dividends in that inquiries for nominations from far corners of the world are growing by the week.
