For those that don’t have a lot of Indian, S. Asian, Caribbean or S. American friends to tell you what’s going on, you may be asking – why is everyone partying and throwing colorful powder on each other??
It’s HOLI!! WooHoo!
Holi, known as the ‘festival of colors’ is celebrated on the full moon day of the month of Phalguna (Feb-Mar). People run through the streets throwing awesome colors at each other amidst loud music and drums. It’s super messy fun! But let’s face it, it’s an ANCIENT festival that even most of us don’t know why we celebrate it.
