2016 Holi Celebration
Friday, April 1, 2016 | 5:30-8 pm
2600 Camino Ramon, San Ramon
FREE

Holi is an ancient festival from India that celebrates the beginning of spring. Participants throw brightly colored powdered pigments on each other as a way to commemorate the vibrant, abundant colors of springtime and to say farewell to the long winter. It’s beautiful, messy, and always fun.

Along with the traditional tossing of colors, there will be plenty of free activities for the family: face painting, henna tattoo artists, dance performances, and live music – all to be enjoyed while you grab dinner at one of the mobile gourmet food trucks.

Don’t forget to bring a pair of old clothes (white works best), the family, and join them at the BR2600 front parking lot to take part in this exciting, free, family event.
