Spring hasn’t sprung quite yet, but when it does – it’s going to be met with one of the year’s most vibrant festivals!
Holi, a festival of colours is “a Hindu tradition that celebrates the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil,” explains the Indian Society of Calgary.
Described as a lively affair this beautiful event will feature music, traditional Indian food, and of course – the throwing of vivid powder!
