Family Holi in NYC

March 8 2023, 4pm - DONE

Holi has been celebrated in the Indian subcontinent for centuries and has origin stories dating back to the 4th century CE. Holi marks the arrival of spring after a cold winter. It is celebrated in March, corresponding to the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna. In 2023, Holi is on March 8. It is now celebrated around the world as a way to welcome spring, embrace inclusivity and get messy with color.
