About this Event

Celebrate Holi*, the Festival of Colors, with us at Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods in Downtown Columbia!

Join friends, neighbors, and families for a free Holi celebration filled with vibrant colors, music, and community spirit.

Welcome spring with a colorful dance party and then sit back and enjoy performances that highlight modern and traditional music, dance, and more! Concessions will be for sale, alongside multiple local food trucks.

Colored powder is available for sale on site. No outside powder may be brought on site. Please note that while powder generally washes out of clothing, it is likely that you will have powder fall on you, so please wear clothing that you agree may be stained.
* In 2026 Holi was celebrated on March 4. We are celebrating in Columbia a little later with warmer weather.
