UToledo will celebrate of Holi with colors, music and dancing from 3 to 5 p.m. Friday, April 18 on Centennial Mall.
Originating in India, Holi is now celebrated worldwide. The festival symbolizes the arrival of spring, the end of winter and the blossoming of love. A classic Holi celebration involves people gathering together to throw bright-colored powder and splash each other with colored water.
“Holi is the perfect reminder that even in the darkest times, we can always find light, and together, we can make the world more colorful,” said Shalika Sangras, president of the Indian Student Cultural Organization and this year’s student director for Holi Toledo.
The first 200 people to enter the color zone will receive a free Holi Toledo 2025 T-shirt. It is suggested that those who attend wear a white shirt, as water-soluble colored powder may stain.
