- The annual 'Leo Avurudhu Ulela' (Sinhala and Tamil New Year festivities) brings together Burnetters' friends and families, as well as friends and counterparts from other Agencies, in a traditional celebration to mark the beginning of a new year.
- New Year - At Leo Burnett, we believe that a good breakfast is an auspicious start to a New Year, that's why we gather at office on 1st January, bleary eyed though we may be, to enjoy a traditional breakfast with Kiribath.
- Our Anniversary - 1st June is a great day for Leo Burnett in Sri Lanka. It is our anniversary. And what better way to celebrate than gathering together for another traditional breakfast.

- Christmas Party - Every year, the Cosmos organizes the Leo Christmas Party which is usually theme based and an eagerly anticipated event amongst the agency personnel. There is an air of excitement weeks before as people in the agency rush around to get their costumes and accessories readied for the party. The Leo Christmas Party evening is one of a kind - with foot-tapping music, fun games, dancing and great food.

The evening ends with a party at the MD's house where our client's, business partners and friends are invited to listen and enjoy the agency talent.
