A Festival Born from a Vision

When the mist rolls across the hills of Nuwara Eliya or the sun rises over Bandarawela’s tea estates, few imagine that these scenic landscapes would someday become the stage for a new kind of Sri Lankan cultural movement.

But that’s exactly what Chathuranga Weerasekara, the founder of InTheMoment.sl, envisioned — an event brand that connects people, music, and nature in harmony.

From its early days as a small gathering to its current reputation as one of Sri Lanka’s most immersive lifestyle and music festivals, InTheMoment.SL has captured the imagination of youth and creatives alike.

The Founder: Chathuranga Weerasekara

As the founder and key figure behind the brand, Chathuranga Weerasekara embodies the new wave of Sri Lankan entrepreneurship — creative, experiential, and deeply rooted in culture and environment.

His goal wasn’t just to host another party. It was to reimagine what connection means — blending music, art, and the serenity of Sri Lanka’s natural settings into a single, unforgettable experience.

“We wanted to create moments that remind people how beautiful it is to be alive, here, in this country,” says Chathuranga in one of his interviews.

The Concept: Music Meets Nature

InTheMoment.SL stands apart for its immersive, nature-focused approach. Each event is hosted in Sri Lanka’s most picturesque locations — from misty hilltops in Nuwara Eliya to lush green escapes in Bandarawela.

The brand’s signature is balance:

• Music that inspires freedom and emotion.
• Nature that calms and reconnects.
• People that share a common rhythm of positivity and unity.

This unique concept positions InTheMoment.SL not just as an event, but as a lifestyle movement — one that celebrates Sri Lankan identity through experience, art, and sustainability.

Partnerships & Collaboration

Chathuranga’s success didn’t come in isolation. The brand thrives on collaboration — partnering with event producers, visual artists, DJs, and experience designers across Sri Lanka.

These collaborations have helped InTheMoment.SL evolve into a recognized creative ecosystem that supports local talent, promotes tourism, and strengthens the country’s cultural economy.

Overcoming Challenges

Launching a large-scale lifestyle brand in post-crisis Sri Lanka wasn’t easy. From logistical barriers to economic uncertainty, every event demanded resilience, creativity, and bold risk-taking.

Yet Chathuranga turned each challenge into innovation — proving that passion and purpose can turn uncertainty into opportunity.

Impact: Redefining Sri Lanka’s Creative Scene

InTheMoment.SL has become a symbol of modern Sri Lankan youth culture — vibrant, responsible, and hopeful.

It showcases how entrepreneurship in arts and entertainment can create economic and emotional value simultaneously.

Through his work, Chathuranga Weerasekara inspires a new generation of creative entrepreneurs — those who see Sri Lanka not just as a market, but as a canvas for meaningful experiences.

The Future of IntheMoment.sl

With growing recognition and loyal audiences, Chathuranga’s vision is to expand InTheMoment.SL into a global lifestyle brand — while keeping its roots grounded in Sri Lanka’s natural beauty.

From hill country gatherings to coastal soundscapes, the brand is evolving into a platform that connects people with nature, music, and community on a deeper level.

Closing Note

InTheMoment.SL is more than an event — it’s a statement of what Sri Lankan creativity can achieve.

It’s about being present, alive, and connected — values that resonate beyond music and into the spirit of a rebuilding nation.

“Rebuilding Sri Lanka begins with those who dare to imagine something beautiful.”
