The Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Gala was organised in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on 24th September prior to the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, which this year falls on Friday. The event showcased the fusion of Chinese performing arts and Sri Lankan culture, enabling the audience to immerse themselves in the richness of both cultures.

The Zhejiang Performing Arts Group from China performed a varied repertoire of vocal, dance, traditional Chinese folk music and face-changing acrobatics. The performances also included elements of Sri Lankan culture, which served to promote the cultural ties between the two countries and to create a festive atmosphere for the event.
