The High Commission of Sri Lanka in Canberra participated in the Moonlit Markets hosted by the University of Canberra on 18 September 2026. The event brought together a diverse community, including members of the diplomatic corps, students and local residents.

The High Commission set up a dedicated stall to promote Sri Lankan culture and tourism. Visitors were offered complimentary Ceylon Tea tastings and informed about the distinct tea regions and flavours that have made Sri Lankan tea globally renowned. The stall also featured an array of traditional Sri Lankan pastries.

A major highlight of the evening was a vibrant cultural dance performance organised by the High Commission, which showcased Sri Lanka’s rich performing arts heritage.

The Moonlit Markets provided a platform to foster cultural exchange, strengthen community ties and promote Sri Lanka as a destination for cultural heritage, cuisine and tourism among international and local communities in Canberra.
