Holi Festival

Washington State Parks Folk and Traditional Arts Program invites you to this year's Holi Celebration from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, March 26 at Lake Sammamish State Park.

 

Holi is a spring festival, also known as the festival of colors or the festival of love, where participants play, chase and color each other with dry powder and colored water. Holi is an ancient Hindu religious festival now celebrated throughout South Asia as well as across the United States.

This event is a Fundraiser for Amrita Seattle, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing basic education, nutrition, healthcare and clean water solutions to underprivileged communities in India and the U.S. Tickets may be purchased in advance or on the day of the festival.
