We are Turning celebration into impact.
What do we dream about?
SOLA Festival is a new movement in Sri Lanka, started by a group of young international creatives, with the belief that festivals can be a force for good - not just a music festival, but a space for connection, inspiration and consideration. We are not here to take, but to give back — to the people, to the environment and to the country's culture.
Our vision is to show how tourism and creativity can exist in harmony with the local community - to support it, rather than exploit it. We aim to build an experience that connects people across cultures, inspires new ideas, celebrates diversity, and shines a light on the best of Sri Lanka — its art, its communities, and its natural beauty.
Our Mission
To create a sustainable, inclusive, and community-driven festival that brings people together through music, art and shared experiences, while celebrating Sri Lanka — giving more to the local community than it takes.
Our Vision
Within five years, SOLA will stand as Sri Lanka’s leading example of conscious festival culture — a blueprint for how creativity, sustainability, and local empowerment can transform tourism into something truly regenerative.
Core Values
Respect – For Sri Lanka’s culture, people, and ecosystems. We listen before we act. Inclusion – A platform for diversity: gender, culture, and voice. Everyone belongs.
Sustainability – Environmental care and conscious design at every step.
Creativity – Using art, music, and craftsmanship as tools for change and learning.
Collaboration – Working hand in hand with local communities to create meaningful experiences that benefit both Sri Lanka and a global audience.
