More than a party
Every edition puts its platform to work for the coast it lives on. Vendors at the creative market get free stands and keep every rupee.
Waste & plastic
Beach and village clean-ups, waste education, upcycling workshops and less single-use on site.
Street dogs
With WeCare: treatment, sterilisation, education and fundraising, including a cocktail whose profits go to the dogs.
Women & children
With Sambol Foundation and local schools: workshops, paid creative work and natural-dye textiles that become festival visuals.
Craft & circular design
Donated fabrics and Sri Lankan craft skills turned into decor, installations and a curated creative market.
