Holi Festival
March 28, 2020
Girard Park
Lafayette Holi Festival, started in 2011, brings Holi to Acadiana, the heart of the Cajun country. Holi (होली), is a religious festival celebrated by Hindus in early Spring. This "Festival of Colors" shares many similarities with Easter...but instead of dying eggs, participants are the ones getting a dash of color. This vibrant, colorful celebration is one you won't want to miss.
