Sri Lankan Fellowship in Bendigo president Deeptha Wickramarathna hosted the celebrations with a traditional breakfast enjoyed before the games.
Almost 50 Sri Lankan families live in Bendigo.
“It has been good to see more (Sri Lankan) people move here over the last couple of years,” Mr Wickramarathna said.
“Some families have been here for 30 years. I have been here for 10 years and can easily see how it has been growing.
“We love this place, the people and the environment. Our kids are really happy and that’s the main reason we are in Bendigo.”
