NCHS' South Asian Performing Arts Club and NCHS' Asian American & Pacific Islander Students are proud to present: A Festival of Colors: Holi Moli!
Every spring, the Indian subcontinent celebrates the two-day festival called Holi. With origins in Hindu mythology, the festival celebrates the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring after a cold winter. During the festival of Holi, it is customary to throw colored powder on family and friends to show love and respect for one another—a tradition that represents togetherness, friendship and a prospering community.
Colorful powders will be thrown to celebrate and participants are encouraged to wear white clothing for maximum display of bright colors. Admission and color packets are FREE of charge.
Attendees can expect a celebration in Uptown Circle on Saturday, April 18 from 1-3pm, through live music and food from local restaurant TBA! Make sure to bring money for food!
This event is a collaboration between the NCHS South Asian Performing Arts Club, NCHS' Asian American & Pacific Islander Students, Town of Normal, Children's Discovery Museum, McLean County Museum of History, the Bloomington-Normal Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Indian Student Association at Illinois State University. We hope to see you there!
