About Festival of Colors

In India, Holi announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. The festival breathes an atmosphere of social merriment. People bury their hatchets with a warm embrace and throw their worries to the wind. Every nook and corner presents a colorful sight. Young and old alike are covered with colors (red, green, yellow, blue, pink, orange, violet, and more).

People in small groups are seen singing, dancing and throwing colors on each other. Though liquid colors are used in India (where it’s warm) we prohibit them, as we don’t want anyone to catch cold on account of the festival.

COLORS: Please note: Outside colors will be confiscated and not be allowed on the festival grounds.
We have five assorted vivid colors (violet, green, yellow, pink, & orange ) in 100g bags at $3 per bag.
Most people prefer to purchase four bags of assorted colors pre-packed for $10.
