NCHS' South Asian Performing Arts Students are proud to present: A Festival of Colors: Holi Moli!

Every spring, the Indian subcontinent celebrates the two-day festival called Holi. With origins in Hindu mythology, the festival celebrates the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring after a cold winter. During the festival of Holi, it is customary to throw colored powder on family and friends to show love and respect for one another—a tradition that represents togetherness, friendship and a prospering community.

Colorful powders will be thrown to celebrate and participants are encouraged to wear white clothing for maximum display of bright colors. Admission and color packets are FREE of charge.

1:00pm - Arrive and receive your free colorful powder packets

1:20pm - Event kickoff

1:30pm - Throwing of the colors
