The Rainbow Bazaar 2025 was a vibrant celebration of LGBTIQ+ identity, creativity, and community. Held as part of Sri Lankan Pride 2025, the event brought together organizations and individuals from across the country to connect, network, and showcase their work. Supported by Equité, the Bazaar also featured the 2025 Media Fellowship showcase, which highlighted short films created by community members during the fellowship program, offering powerful reflections of lived experiences and stories from across the LGBTIQ+ spectrum. The event honoured individuals who contributed to LGBTIQ+ wellbeing and was filled with music, dance, and multicultural performances, a true celebration of pride and diversity. We were honoured by the presence of Bonnie Horbach, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Gabrielle Isaak, Acting High Commissioner of New Zealand.

The Sri Lankan Pride Party 2025 was a night to remember, a joyful and unapologetic celebration of love, freedom, and self-expression. As part of the larger Pride events, the party brought together LGBTIQ+ community members and allies for an evening of music, dance, and connection in a safe and inclusive space.

The Rainbow Cricket Tournament 2025 was held once again at the Pepiliyana Ground in Colombo. This spirited event brought together LGBTIQ+ community members and allies to celebrate sportsmanship, teamwork, and visibility in the world of sports. The tournament was filled with energy, laughter, and friendly competition, proving that Pride extends beyond parades and parties into every field of life. This year’s event was graced by the presence of Eric Walsh, High Commissioner for Canada in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, whose support underscored the importance of inclusive spaces in all areas of society.

Despite the misty weather, the Rainbow Holi Celebration 2025 brought warmth, colour, and connection to Nuwara Eliya. Organized in collaboration with our Nuwara Eliya branch, the event gathered LGBTIQ+ community members and allies from the Northern, Eastern, and North Central provinces for a vibrant day of celebration. The spirit of Pride shone through as participants came together to throw colour, dance, and share moments of joy and solidarity. The event was a powerful reminder that Pride thrives not in perfect conditions, but in the strength and unity of our community.
