DJ Anjali & The Incredible Kid and Topaz Farm present a HOLI Spring Festival, a celebration of color on Sauvie Island - a second date added!
About this event
SECOND DATE ADDED!
Join us as we celebrate the second date of two Holi spring harvest festivals of color!
Winter and spring on the island are long seasons on the farm; the planting of cover crops, waiting for the rain to let up, working the soil, crop planting, cultivating... and finally the berries, vegetables and flowers come to life! We want to celebrate spring with the South Asian festival of Holi, an ancient festival celebrated across religions that marks the arrival of spring and the end of winter.
Traditionally, Holi festivals are in March, but due to Oregon's typical cold, wet weather then, we're waiting until May to celebrate at the farm's season opening weekend.
Leading the celebration will be DJ Anjali & The Incredible Kid, who will host a Bollywood and Bhangra dance party in the grass!
This event is Portland's first to feature only-organic powder, direct from India, made from flowers, seeds and vegetables. Each paid entrance includes a packet of colors (while supplies last) and a portion of the festival proceeds will benefit farmers in India.
Everyone is welcome at this all-ages event, which in addition to farm stand food and drinks, will feature food from:
Bhuna
Big Elephant Kitchen
Chaat Wallah
Chaiwallah PDXKulfi PDX
Expect to get messy as Holi is celebrated by throwing bright colored powder on each other. Wearing white or old clothes is recommended. No outside colors are allowed.
