Carnival Colors: A 48-Hour Itinerary for Unawatuna Carnival

Craving feathers and drums? This two-day plan from Festivation keeps you in the heart of Unawatuna’s carnival energy.

1. Costume Market Kick-Off

Hire glitter capes and city festivals feathered masks before prices spike; guide alerts show stalls that barter.

2. Bloc-o Street Session

Join a moving sound-truck; GPS in the app predicts turns so you snag curb-side dance space.

3. Midnight Drum Circle

Head to a hidden square where locals jam till dawn—free earplugs courtesy of the Festivation crew.

4. Sunrise Recovery Brunch

Refuel on açai bowls and coconut water at a café that opens only during carnival week.

Pack glitter, tap "save," and let the rhythm guide you.
