Please wear white clothing that you’re not afraid to get colored. The herbal color powder is skin-safe and will be available at the festival for a nominal cost ($3 for a single pack, and $5 for a 2 pack). For those of you that are not particularly excited about having color all over your body, there is a color free zone where food booths are located. The Kids Rides & Carnival area is also a color free zone.

 

Advance tickets are only $10-12. / At the door will be $15./

Please buy your tickets in advance so that the group doesn’t have to wait and we can take full advantage of the festival.

Parking is FREE at the Shuttle lot a few minutes away from the Venue with buses running every 10 minutes – The parking is at the Metro Park & Ride – 14230 Katy Fwy.

 

A couple of suggestions to prep for the event:

* PLEASE WEAR WHITE CLOTHES (especially the ones you are not afraid to get stained). This is a request, not a mandate, so you can come in with whatever clothing you’d like!

* If you are worried about the color on your hair, apply some coconut oil or olive oil to your hair that morning before the event.  It will make the washing off easier 🙂

* Wear lots of sunscreen

* Bring Cash – There will be several food trucks and non-alcoholic beverage stands and not all accept platic

Bring large beach towels or a change of clothes for when you are heading home so that you don’t color your car

* Be ready to celebrate spring, happiness and love 🙂

 

WHAT IS HOLI?

Holi is an ancient Hindu festival that celebrates the coming of spring and the rebirth of nature. It is also known as the festival of colors or the festival of love. People chase and color each other and throw water filled balloons on unsuspecting neighbors. Everyone is fair game, friend or stranger, rich or poor, children and elders. The color play occurs in communities, open streets, parks and temples. Friends & family meet to color each other as a symbol of love. This is also a day to forget and forgive and mend broken relationships.
