The festival marks the end of winter and the abundance of the upcoming spring harvest season. It is a festive day to meet loved ones, play, laugh, forget & forgive, and bury hatchets with a warm embrace. The Festival of Color frees all of inhibitions so they can relate others with pure joy. It brings people together and creates a community of happy people. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil. The spirit of this festival is truly universal. What to expect? - A riot of colors to be played with family, friends and neighbors. - Foot-tapping Bollywood music by our community DJ Kapil - Sumptuous snacks and beverages including the Holi delicacies - A colorful photo-booth Volunteering This is a completely volunteer-driven event made possible by ticket sale.
