Holi is a Hindu festival of spring in India and is celebrated by people of all nationalities, backgrounds, and religions. It is celebrated by throwing colors on each other to create equality and erase differences. In our event, we will be throwing colors in the sky with our kites. Kite flying has always been central to Indian culture.
