The Navam Perahera is arguably the most spectacular cultural parade in Colombo, organized annually by the famous Gangaramaya Temple. It features hundreds of incredibly skilled traditional dancers, fire breathers, and whip crackers.

While the Kandy Esala Perahera is historically older and larger, the Colombo festival is remarkably vibrant and much easier to access if you are staying in the capital. Dozens of beautifully adorned elephants march directly around Beira Lake.
