During the past decade, the Colombo Dutch Hospital Precinct has gathered momentum as one of the popular hangout spots in the city, which also has character and history linked to it.
Since last year, the vibe has indeed increased many folds with the introduction of street events along Hospital Street just behind the Dutch Hospital area.This is thanks to Fairway Colombo, the modern and trendy hotel located on Hospital Street, and the events that were initiated to cater to the local and foreign visitors to the area.
Fairway Colombo is a subsidiary of Fairway Holdings, a local conglomerate that has continuously supported local art and culture through numerous projects.
The street events by Fairway Colombo are unique as they are affordable and require no entrance fee or cover charge
The first flagship event that was introduced was the Fairway Colombo Street Food Festival, which completed one year recently. The Fairway Colombo street events also include a flagship segment for the young musicians.
In its latest initiative, fire torches and colourful masks take on Hospital Street at the Fairway Colombo Cultural Show, which showcases Sri Lanka’s cultural heritage.
