Spring is slowly taking over New York City. That means sunglasses, Frozen yogurt, greenery, and of course the annual Holi Hai Festival. Last years Holi Fest conquered Midtown Manhattan for a day with it's live music, dancing, and bright colors.
What better way to kickstart your spring with a festival devoted to unity, happiness, and the freedom to spread colored powder on the participating strangers of NYC.
Welcome to the happiest festival in New York City! Holi Hai, also known as the Festival of Colors, celebrates the coming of spring, the joy of friendship, and equality for all. All nationalities and ethnicities are encouraged to participate! Make sure to wear white because this party gets colorful. The colored powders used in Holi represent happiness, love, and the freedom to live vibrantly. Take the opportunity to cover yourself and your friends in colorful powders and dance your heart out. Enjoy musical performances, delicious food, and an afternoon of messy, free fun!
The 6th Annual Holi Hai Festival, a.k.a the Festival of Colors, is completely FREE and happening on May 2nd from 11am - 6pm at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in Midtown East.
