Milo to host kids zone and tag rugby at Bradby fiesta

-

The ‘Bradby Fiesta 2018’ is going to mark the zenith to a festive April in Colombo by adding a carnival atmosphere to a historic rivalry, in the form of a game of rugby.

Bradby Fiesta 2018 is the rugby carnival organized to coincide with the Colombo leg of the game of rugby played between the two schools Royal College, Colombo and the Trinity College Kandy, known around the globe as Bradby Shield. The Colombo leg of the 74th Bradby Shield being the 1st of two games, is scheduled to be held on April 21st at the Royal College, Sports Complex.

Bradby Fiesta was originally organized by the Royal College Union (RCU) to accommodat­e those who miss the opportunit­y to witness the live action at the venue - due to seating constraint­s - to experience the game live on giant screens placed at Bloomfield grounds, situated adjacent to the Sports Complex. Over the years it has grown into a much anticipate­d carnival and an after party, which runs from 9.00 a.m. to 12.00 midnight on the day of the game. RCU in recognitio­n of its social responsibi­lity called off the Bradby Fiesta 2017, at a time when all the arrangemen­ts have been made, in considerat­ion of the calamity the country was faced during the nationwide floods experience­d in June, last year.

Adding to the excitement of the game, carnival atmosphere and the festivitie­s, Milo in partnershi­p with the RCU has lined up a host of activities to engage the kids along with their families at the ‘Fiesta’. ‘Fiesta’ has transforme­d the game that was once enjoyed by the fathers to an event of entertainm­ent for the entire family.

The extravagan­ce of the game is now open to kids from the morning, as ‘Milo’ is hosting a special Kids Zone at the Fiesta. Milo who has been a partner of ‘Brady Fiesta’ from the very inception of it, has added a wide array of fun games for kids at the Kids Zone, that are specially designed for kids with so many attractive and exciting giveaways including mountain bicycles. The Kids Zone will also feature a Breakfast Zone, fun and energy moves, fun selfies and etc. Milo together with the Organizers has taken special care and effort to ensure that games at kids zone present a challenge in both aspects physically and mentally, so that ‘fiesta’ would offer something more than fun and games for kids.
