Join a vibrant two-day free, all-ages event with music, dance, colors, food and drink vendors, and more. The 15th Annual celebration features organic flower petal colors straight from India. At Holi, the Festival of Colors celebrates the coming of spring, the joy of friendship, and equality for all. All nationalities and ethnicities are encouraged to participate. Come dressed in white and play with colors.

Hourly performances from local dancers and artists, kicking it off with kids' performances. Color packets made with flower petals and imported straight from India will be available for purchase ($5 per packet).

Holi has a way of bringing people together and breaking down barriers, come prepared to get colorful and make new friends in the process.
