RIA Festival of Colors : Music, Masti, Dhamaal
The festival of colors, is one of the most exciting and fun filled Indian festivals. 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. Redmond Indian Association (RIA) provides a wonderful opportunity to promote, preserve and share cultural traditions with the diverse community at Redmond Ridge. Continuing our tradition of celebrating festivals together as a community, RIA is pleased to announce that we are celebrating the festival of colors, on: Saturday, April 29 between 12 noon to 2.30 PM @Bristol Park with: - Vibrant colors with our community, their family, friends and neighbors. - Foot tapping bollywood music played by our community DJ Kapil - Sumptuous chat / snacks and beverages and Holi delicacies This is a completely volunteer driven event made possible by ticket sale. We would love to have many more of you to step up and volunteer at this event. Volunteering is a great way to give back to our community, learn new skills and make new friends. Volunteer opportunities available not just for adults but also for middle school and high school kids. Please sign-up for volunteering here. This year we are supporting Hopelink's Redmond Chapter.
