An expanded childrens area will cater to the interests of the little ones keeping them actively engaged. It’s the coastal town to the north of Colombo, which beckons visitors this December when the weekend of 11th to 13th brings fun and excitement to the beach in Negombo, Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau revealed.
While the festival will no doubt be the highlight, Negombo is also a bustling fishing town with many ethnic groups living in harmony bearing testimony to Sri Lanka’s rich multi cultural society.
Remnants, of a strong Portuguese, Dutch and British presence are felt throughout and particularly the influence of the Catholic Church. A beautiful lagoon and canals offer a variety of birds for the nature lover making a trip to this town a must do on a visit to the destination, sources added.
