Holi has always aimed to promote unity in Christchurch and is built on the traditional themes of forgiveness and togetherness. The event provides a welcoming and inclusive space to come together as one city and celebrate the many different people that call Ōtautahi home.
Holi 2026 will focus on building understanding of different cultures in Christchurch through showcasing traditional performances, food, games and stories.
Christchurch Holi is brought to you by Homes By Parklane, Sandeep Khanna Mortgages, Revel Events , Maia Foods Christchurch, Spectrum Lighting and Sound, and backed by Christchurch City Council, Christchurch Multicultural Council and Eminence Design.
