What Holi is
Colour, water and spring. In northern Europe the Holi parties are outdoor, ticketed and usually a few weeks after the date β because March is cold.
Holi is the spring full-moon festival: a bonfire the night before (Holika Dahan) and a morning of throwing coloured powder and water at everyone in reach. It is the least formal of the big festivals and the easiest to invite friends of any background to.

- Only organic, skin-safe gulal is sold at community events β do not bring your own from an unknown source.
- Most events are family-friendly in the afternoon and turn into a party after dark.
