Join us for a day filled with joy, unity, and love as we commemorate the ancient festival of colors as we also support a great cause. Originating 3000 years ago in Northern India, Holi is more than just a festival — it’s a celebration of unity and traditionally marksthe triumph of good over evil and is a celebration to welcome the Spring. Taking place in India, Nepal, and other countries around the world, festival goers drench themselves in a kaleidoscope of reds, blues, yellows, and greens, laughter, dancing, and singing fill the streets, creating an atmosphere of joy and togetherness.
“It is a celebration of unity, equality, and love,” says Amy Pillarisetti, Holi Fest coordinator and Cenla India Association representative.

“Every step you take helps provide advocacy and therapy to ensure these children find safety and a permanent home,” says Pillarisetti.

- A Color Walk/Run benefitting the Children’s Advocacy Network
- Live music and dance performances
- Kids’ activities including chalk art and crafts
- Delicious Indian cuisine
- Custom T-shirts designed by Ugly Mug Marketing
