Family Night with the Gypsies

The typical family’s daily routine is often so chaotic that it is much too easy for families today to grow apart. With little or no affordable quality outdoor entertainment which the entire family could patronize, families today find themselves with limited choices. Expose Events will feature Family Night with the Gypsie s, an evening of fantastic music, dance and simply blissful enjoyment, for the entire family, performed by the charismatic Gypsies, with their line-up of popular and famous hit songs and entertaining performances.

Enhancing the night’s entertainment will be popular guest artists Ronnie Leach, Chandini Hettiarachchi with daughter Jacqueline. The event is scheduled on February 24 from 07 pm to 1 am at the CR & FC Sports Grounds.

Family Night with the Gypsies is designed for the whole family. A variety of food and beverage action stations will be available for convenient purchases. The seating will be tables of 10, arranged to obtain maximum view of the band. We envisage accommodating 2000 numbers.

The ambience will be a typical family setting with special effects, lighting and sounds incorporated. The Gypsies will perform on stage, located in the main grounds premises. A dance floor area will also be in place. Our intention is to establish this event as a regular feature to be conducted once in three months.
