Holi Summer Fest: A Celebration of Color

HOLI HAI! After four sold-out Holi Festivals Anjali & The Kid bring their color throw experience to Forest Grove for their biggest Holi yet featuring all organic colors handmade by farmers and tribal communities in India. A Bollywood and Bhangra dance party in the grass with Anjali’s Gulabi Gang dance troupe and the PDX Bhangra troupe.

Color throws at 4:30, 5:30 & 6:30PM

Note that the actual date of Holi occurs in March, but in the Pacific Northwest celebrations of the festival are often pushed back as far as June to take advantage of better weather and dancing in the grass.

This event features only-organic powder, direct from India, made from flowers, seeds and vegetables (like rose, spinach, marigold and turmeric.) Each paid entrance includes a packet of colors and a portion of the festival proceeds will benefit farmers in India. Other Holi festivals typically feature industrial dyes containing carcinogens; this event is committed to returning to plant-based powder which honors our connection to the earth.

Everyone is welcome at this all-ages event.

Expect to get messy as Holi is celebrated by throwing bright colored powder on each other. Wearing white or old clothes is recommended.

No outside colors are allowed.
