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. Each color has a meaning. Blue is the color of the gods. Green is the color of nature. Red is the color of festivals and weddings, and signifies passion. Yellow signifies warmth. Orange is the color of ambition.This vibrant, colorful celebration is one you won't want to miss with a live DJ, dance, performances, drummer (Dholi), exchange of colors, and lots of delicious Indian food for all to enjoy!
