HOLI is a colorful festival that is open to everyone and is held annually at Girard Park in Lafayette.
Highlights of the festival include music with a live DJ, dance, performances, drummer (Dholi), exchange of colors, and lots of delicious Indian food for all to enjoy!
Acadiana Indian Association brings this unforgettable experience to you in the form of Lafayette Holi every year on last Saturday of March. Its been a Lafayette tradition since 2011.
What to Expect?
Its probably evident from the pictures and videos on the page, yet its worth stating again. Holi is celebrated with colors, literally "WITH" colors. You splash colors on each other.
Lafayette Holi will feature colors, a lot of colors, dry colors, wet colors, and all colors of colors. The color we will use is called "Gulal". This particular variety is made of food grade corn starch mixed with food coloring and fragrance. The colors are non-hazardous.
Besides colors, the festival will have music and dance. Unlike Cajun festivals held in Girard Park, Lafayette Holi will feature Bollywood music and dancing. Be prepared to enact a "Grease"-like dancing to Bollywood tunes.
There will also be Indian food sold at very modest prices. There will also be pizza, Kona-ice cream truck, Sub Zero Ice Cream, and beer.
See you this Saturday, March 29th at 11 am at Girard Park!
