In line with our mission, RIA continues to strive to create better civic and political engagement, in our own lil ways.

We thank Governor Jay Inslee, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene and State Senator Manka Dhingra for extending Holi greetings to the community.
We have also invited 5 teachers each from all the area schools (Rosa Parks, Wilder, Emily Dickinson, Explorer and Evergreen Middle). Along with the teachers, we have also invited the brave firefighters who serve Redmond Ridge. Please welcome all these folks and help them have fun and experience our culture.

Do's and Don'ts
To make this event fun and safe for everyone, you need to adhere to the following:
- Do NOT bring any color, food, narcotic substances, alcoholic beverages, water balloons, water gun and fireworks.
- Smoking is not permitted at the festival park.
- Play with colors only in the designated playing area.
- Keep the venue clean and avoid littering. Remember its our park, where our kids play.
- Do not throw colors into people’s eyes.
- Courtesy plastic bags for a change of clothes etc., will be available at the venue. You could wear this on top of your clothes while driving back from the event.
- Exercise politeness at all times.
- The color supplied may stain hair & clothes, so do not wear your “Saturday best.” To avoid and/or minimize stain, dust off all dry excess powder before stepping into a shower, or throwing your clothes in the wash. Once the caked dry colors get wet, it is hard to get out. However, if one can shake as much as possible out while dry, there is a good chance of not having undesirable color in the hair.
- Do not wear contacts to the event!
- Do not throw colors on any passing cars, folks not participating in the festival.
- Be courteous of local businesses and do not leave messes in their bathrooms or the honey bucket near the park.
- Do thank the volunteers that have worked really hard to put together this fun event. Remember they are folks like you with a demanding jobs and other responsibilities
- Do abide by all the rules of the Redmond Indian Association, Redmond Ridge East HOA, and applicable federal, state and local laws. Any violation of these rules and guidelines and laws by the undersigned is cause for immediate expulsion from the venue..
- Finally, remember to have fun:)
