8th Annual HOLI Festival of Colors

The South Asian Student Association (SASA) and the Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center present the 8th Annual Holi Festival of Colors.

On Saturday, March 28th, join us at the Festival of Colors at 4p.m. at the TTU Rec Fields. The Festival of Colors is where family and friends throw colored powders at each other to celebrate the coming of spring. The Festival of Colors will also include cultural performances, music, free food and t-shirts. Please dress in clothing you do not mind getting dirty. The traditional dress asks people to wear white to the Festival of Colors. White Holi t-shirts will be available for free at the Festival of Colors.

 About Holi:

Holi is an Indian festival celebrating the arrival of spring. The spirit of Holi is color - rich and vibrant, flung into the air and smeared with laughter on friends and loved ones. Colors denote energy - the vivid, passionate pulse of life. Color signifies the vitality that makes the human race unique in the universal scheme. Holi, the festival of color, is also the enactment of spring. It is, in a metaphorical sense, changing earth’s dull garb of winter for the fresh blue of the March skies, the bright colors of new blossoms, the brilliance of the summer sun washing everything with its red-gold hues.

Bring picnic blankets, lawn chairs, etc. to sit and enjoy great Indian food after the festival of colors.
