SLAAB Vesak & Poson Celebrations in Ballarat 2026
About
Join the Sri Lankan Australian Association of Ballarat (SLAAB) as we come together to celebrate the sacred occasions of Vesak and Poson. Vesak and Poson are two of the most significant festivals in the Sri Lankan Buddhist calendar, with Vesak commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Lord Buddha, and Poson marking the historic introduction of Buddhism to Sri Lanka. This is an all-welcome event dedicated to fostering community spirit, cultural sharing, and unity. We are preparing a wonderful program that honors our traditions and provides a space for families to connect. Our celebration will feature:Bhakthi Gee: Traditional devotional choral singing by our community children.
Cultural Performances: Skits and youth performances showcasing our heritage.
Illuminated Thorana (Display): A beautiful visual tribute to the festival.
Dansala: A traditional display of generosity and community sharing food.
Community Initiative: Blood Donation Campaign
In the lead-up to our celebration, we are launching a Community Blood Donation Campaign. We invite all eligible community members to participate by donating at the Ballarat Donor Centre. Let’s join hands to save lives and mark this season of compassion with a meaningful contribution. We look forward to announcing our community’s total donation tally at the main event on June 20th!
