Holi, a significant Hindu festival celebrated as the festival of colors, love and spring, will be celebrated Friday, April 19, at Centennial Mall. It is an all-inclusive event from 3 to 5 p.m. that will feature dancing, colors and music.
Originating in India, the celebration of Holi has since circulated worldwide. It symbolizes the arrival of spring, the end of winter and the blossoming of love. A classic Holi celebration involves people gathering and throwing bright-colored powder and splashing each other with colored water.
