The HSBC Ceylon Literary & Arts Festival is set to return for its second edition from January 17-19, 2025 with a focus on innovation and the future of creative industries. The organizers hope to spotlight Sri Lanka to international audiences as a country with a dynamic and vibrant society.
Building on the success of its inaugural launch, the festival aims to bring together artists, writers, musicians and filmmakers, showcasing Sri Lankan talent and position the nation as a dynamic and vibrant society on the global stage.
Last year's festival saw an impressive turnout featuring 44 authors, both local and international. This year, the primary emphasis on literature, will be complemented by art, music and film, providing much-needed support for emerging local talent by fostering creative entrepreneurship, and creating new opportunities for Sri Lankans in the arts sector.
