Established in 2009 by D. S. Senanayake College. Inspired by other schools' parades, initiated by Advanced Level students chaired by Rukshan Ayya with backing from the OBA under President Weeraman Aiya.
For the past decade, “PSYCHO PARADE” organized by the Old Boys Association of D.S. Senanayake College, has been a resounding success. The parade stands out for its exceptional discipline, drawing in a vast number of students each year. Widely recognized as the largest and longest parade among all big match parades, the Psycho Parade has consistently captured the spotlight on popular television channels, radio stations, and in print media.
What commenced in 2009 as a modest parade with just 20 cars and a handful of participating students has since blossomed into a spectacle that captivates the attention of tens of thousands of students, not only within our school but also from many other schools.
Since 2010, the parade has undergone remarkable growth, both in scale and diversity of activities, as the “Senanayakians” were the first to introduce luxury vehicles, EDM trucks, Double-decker buses, DJ music, and Papare to Sri Lankan parades.
Beyond the mainstream, Psycho Parade incorporates cultural elements, cosplay competitions, and various unique components, setting it apart as a truly distinctive event, transforming the parade into something exceptional, surpassing the conventional norms of traditional parades.
