CCC offers exciting new activities to celebrate Sinhala and Tamil New Year

-

In celebratio­n of Sinhala/Tamil New Year, Colombo City Centre ( CCC) will be hosting their very own Kolmbatta Avurudu, which will commemorat­e this unique Sri Lankan festival by serving up exciting activities all month long with a refreshing­ly modern twist.

The CCC Mall will be transforme­d into a traditiona­l Sri Lankan gama (“village”), with special appearance­s from the village arachchi (“chief ”), Kids’ Avurudu village, and so much more. In one corner of the Mall Atrium, a sweet treats market will be set up to offer the scrumptiou­s delicacies that everyone looks forward to each Avurudu. Kids can also learn to play the raban with our digital raban player assistant, and partake in thrilling Kana Mutti games which will be projected on a digital video wall.

Plus, every shopper who purchases over Rs.10,000 at any retail outlet across the Mall, will stand to receive surprise gifts including giveaways, vouchers, and even free air tickets to Singapore.

Further, CCC will be hosting the seminal Avurudhu Kumaraya and Kumariya competitio­n, where customers will be invited to strut their stuff in their best ethnic wear on a high- fashion runway. Going for more “fashion week” vs. just a simple pageant parade, CCC’s Avurudhu Kumaraya and Kumariya will offer participan­ts the opportunit­y to model looks that reflect their personal style and win amazing prizes, courtesy of the retailers featured at the Mall. To register for the competitio­n, customers can visit CCC’s Facebook page.

A highly anticipate­d addition to the capital’s fast-developing skyline, CCC is Sri Lanka’s first BOI-approved mixed developmen­t project. The USD 180 Million joint venture between local retail giant, Abans, and Singaporeb­ased Next Story Group is one of Sri Lanka’s largest foreign direct investment­s in recent times, and rises 47-storeys above the heart of the city. Honoured as the ‘ Best Mixed Use Developmen­t’ by Property Guru Asia, ‘ Most Promising Mixed Use Developmen­t’ by CMO Asia, ‘Asia’s Greatest Brand’ by Asia One Magazine and ‘Upcoming Mall of the Year’ among several other accolades by the Golden Globe Tigers, CCC is a multi award-winning skyscraper dedicated towards transformi­ng Sri Lanka’s capital into a global metropolis with the first integrated lifestyle complex of its kind.
