NZSLF showcases our cultures at The Auckland International Carnival Parade
The NZSLF represented Sri Lanka in the Auckland International Carnival held on Saturday the 15th of October 2011 at Glen Innes in a very colorful manner. This was very well received by spectators.
The culture, heritage and traditions of Sri Lanka have been an integral part of the lives of Sri Lankans living in New Zealand and we are pleased and proud that we were able to showcase these through our young Sri Lankan children who patriotically volunteered to showcase part of our culture and Ethnic background at this international parade.
With their participation we were able to depict very vividly the ethnic diversity of Sri Lankans to an international Audience.
The committee of the NZSLF would like to thank these young children and their parents for their participation at this event.

An Audience of over 500 guests were enthralled by a star studded performance by the Marians. Catering to a variety of tastes, the band gave one of their best performances taking the audience to a fever pitch with their popular Baila music and renditions of English classics such as Hotel California, Joanna, and many more.
The dance floor was packed with Sri Lankans who gave up watching Sri Lanka play Australia for the World Cup Cricket 2011 that night in order to enjoy the dazzling performance of Marians on their first ever performance in New Zealand. Their music resonated around the stadium keeping toes tapping non-stop as the versatile members of the group continued a 5 hour performance taking turns singing their renowned songs without a break.
The New Zealand Sri Lanka Foundation (NZSLF) promotes Culture, Heritage and the fostering of fellowship through community participation. It is the commitment of the Foundation to establish and maintain cultural links with Sri Lanka by organising events performed by acclaimed performing artists from Sri Lanka.
