Grab your white clothes, your gulal and get ready to party.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Holi, the Hindu celebration of spring and renewal, is Wednesday March 8., which offers language classes and promotes cultural literacy about South Asia. Seghal has consulted with several organizations in the city to help plan their Holi events.
Typically Holi is celebrated with colorful powders, called “gulal,” which people throw at each other. For many, said Sehgal, it’s a time to eat spicy foods, considered cooling in the warm weather; and to sip thandai, a milky drink with cardamom and saffron. Holi, said Sehgal, is about celebrating friendship and love, and looking forward. She noted that people of all backgrounds and faiths are welcome to partake in festivities.
Whether you’re looking to get powdered, or just want to party, here are some Holi-themed events across the city:Kids and their grownups are invited to wear white, arrive hungry and “ready to play.” This year’s festivities will include dance performances, live music, a DJ – and, of course – the chance to throw color powders in the nearby park. There are three sessions on Saturday April 1: starting at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 4 p.m.
