The original Holi Festival in India is a huge fun-filled celebration of music and dancing, uniquely characterized by throwing special coloured powder into the air (and at each other) to express freedom and the colour of everyday life. The festival concept has quickly gained popularity worldwide with colour festivals springing up in Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Hannover, the USA and Singapore. Now it’s South Africa’s turn to launch its own version of the festival. The colour festivals are all about bringing people together and celebrating the fun and colour of everyday life. To support and reinforce this ethos more strongly we have rebranded to WE ARE ONE Colour Festival and in making sure there is no ambiguity between the SA event and the Hindu festival that it’s based on, the world ‘Holi’ has been removed from the title.
