Holi, also known as the “festival of colours,” is celebrated all around the globe and signifies the arrival of spring, the blossoming of love, and a festive day to reconnect, play and laugh.
Colour Fest also celebrates Vaisakhi, a harvest festival that honours the creation of the Khalsa order and also promotes the creation of a more equal and just society.

Dig out a white shirt and get your tie-dye on at Town Centre Park. The colours used in Holi are often created from flowers and herbs, as India’s hot climate is perfect for producing bright natural dyes.

Guests will also enjoy live music and dance performances by South Asian artists. And all ages can take part in Vaisakhi and Holi-themed art activities.
After you have finished becoming a rainbow in the Colour Zone, head over to the food trucks to try some delicious multicultural treats.
