Yes, the 1st Edition of the International Ethnic Folklore Festival in Sri Lanka is planned for 2026, organized by the Driti Council and the Sri Lanka Cultural Dance Foundation. It will bring over 200 professional international artists to our capital city. This is a rare opportunity to see global folk traditions sharing the stage with our own traditional dancers. Keep an eye on local listings for the exact venue and ticket info.

This is part of a larger expansion of the festival across Asia, including Thailand and Vietnam. It really emphasizes the role of Sri Lanka as a cultural hub in the Indian Ocean.
