In celebration of Sinhala/Tamil New Year, Colombo City Centre will be hosting their very own ‘Kolambata Avurudu’, which will commemorate this unique Sri Lankan festival by serving up exciting activities all month long with a refreshingly modern twist.
The Colombo City Centre Mall will be transformed into a traditional Sri Lankan gama (village), with special appearances from the village arachchi (chief), Kids’ Avurudu village, and so much more. In one corner of the Mall Atrium, a sweet treats market will be set up to offer the scrumptious delicacies that everyone looks forward to each Avurudu. Kids can also learn to play the raban with our digital raban player assistant, and partake in thrilling Kana Mutti games which will be projected on a digital video wall.
Plus, every shopper who purchases over Rs. 10,000 at any retail outlet across the Mall, will stand to receive surprise gifts including giveaways, vouchers, and even free air tickets to Singapore.
Further, Colombo City Centre will be hosting the seminal Avurudu Kumaraya and Kumariya competition, where customers will be invited to strut their stuff in their best ethnic wear on a high-fashion runway. Going for more “fashion week” vs. just a simple pageant parade, Colombo City Centre’s Avurudu Kumaraya and Kumariya will offer participants the opportunity to model looks that reflect their personal style and win amazing prizes, courtesy of the retailers featured at the Mall. To register for the competition, customers can visit Colombo City Centre’s Facebook page.
A highly anticipated addition to the capital’s fast-developing skyline, Colombo City Centre is Sri Lanka’s first BOI-approved mixed development project. The $ 180 million joint venture between local retail giant, Abans, and Singapore-based Next Story Group is one of Sri Lanka’s largest foreign direct investments in recent times, and rises 47-storeys above the heart of the city. Honoured as the ‘Best Mixed Use Development’ by PropertyGuru Asia, ‘Most Promising Mixed Use Development’ by CMO Asia, ‘Asia’s Greatest Brand’ by AsiaOne Magazine and ‘Upcoming Mall of the Year’ among several other accolades by the Golden Globe Tigers, Colombo City Centre is a multi-award-winning skyscraper dedicated towards transforming Sri Lanka’s capital into a global metropolis with the first integrated lifestyle complex of its kind. This includes Sri Lanka’s first international mall with high-end brands, a 700-seat food court and 6-screen multiplex cinema, the upscale NEXT Hotel® with 164 keys, and 192 luxurious residential units designed to offer unmatched views of the city, Beira Lake, and Indian Ocean.
