Saturday’s HoliFest benefited from sunny skies and warm temps that drew the crowds to Roger Sherman Baldwin Park.
The highlight of the event was the color throw, a traditional feature of Hindu festivals of Holi. Bags of powder – eco-friendly gulal – were distributed and participants had the the opportunity to welcome spring in a colorful way.
The event ran from 2:00 to 6:00pm, an hour longer this year – with more musical and dance performances, cricket batting cages, more food vendors (Dhabewala Indian Shack, Dosa King, El Chilito Taco Truck, and Kona Ice), and more henna artists.
