About the event
Marked annually by a two-day celebration starting on the vernal equinox, Holi welcomes spring and the promise of a good harvest season. It’s also a time to start new, which for some may mean mending fractured relationships, offering apologies or granting forgiveness, paying past-due debts, and letting go of petty disagreements. For those who observe Holi, it’s a chance to rejoice, play, laugh, sing, dance, and eat special foods and sweet treats. Although Holi is most widely associated with its Hindu origins, it’s also observed by people of other faiths. In fact, Holi events are increasing in popularity throughout the U.S., and the spirit of the celebration is inclusive. Click HERE to view the resources developed by The Diversity Movement.
