In a measure to revive the night economy in Sri Lanka, State Tourism Minister Diana Gamage ceremonially inaugurated the 'Colombo Street Food Festival' at the Dutch Hospital premises in Fort last night with the participation of over 5,000 people.
This kind of event was last held 3 years ago prior to the COVID pandemic. However, arrangements have now been made to hold this Food Festival on the last Saturday and Sunday of every month from 6 pm to midnight.
The State Minister was in the spotlight recently for promoting the creation of a no-holds-barred nightlife in the city of Colombo to attract high spending tourists and is in line with her continued efforts to revive and establish a thriving and diverse night economy in Sri Lanka.
