The family-friendly, colorful festival of Holi will be celebrated right here at the Bishop Ranch 2600 front parking lot on Friday, April 1. Holi is an ancient festival from India that celebrates the beginning of spring. Participants throw brightly-colored powdered pigments on each other as a way to commemorate the vibrant, abundant colors of springtime and to say farewell to the long winter. It's beautiful, messy, and fun! Along with the traditional throwing of colors, there will be plenty of free activities for the family: face painting, henna tattoo artists, dance performances, and live music to enjoy while you grab dinner at one of the mobile gourmet food trucks. There is also plenty of free parking! Don't forget to bring a pair of old clothes (white works best), the family, and join us at the BR2600 front parking lot to take part in this exciting, free, family event. Questions?
