Presented in partnership with the Indian Cultural Association of NWA (ICANWA), the Holi Festival, also known as the Festival of Colors and the Festival of Love, marks the start of spring with vibrant colors, food, music, dancing, and more. Open to all, this festival traditionally celebrates the vibrancy of life and the love of Radha Krishna, and has been observed in India for thousands of years.

While traditionally celebrated in 2024 on March 25, Northwest Arkansas’s Holi Festival takes place April to make the most of springtime. Come enjoy warmer weather with outdoor fun, a live DJ, traditional Indian foods, and more. Meet community partners out on the Momentary Green, or pick up an art kit from the Crystal Bridges Community Engagement team! Open to the community, free, and family friendly, this event is a great way to shake off the stress of a long winter.

See you there, and Happy Holi!
