**UPDATE (March 7, 2020): Baybasi, Inc has informed the City of Foster City that they have canceled this year's Holi Festival. **
Holi is one of the largest festivals in India and is celebrated by people throwing colored powder and colored water at each other. Holi is celebrated (in India) at the end of the winter season on the last full moon day of the lunar month. One of Holi’s biggest customs is loosening the strictness of social structures and bringing communities together in an exhilarating experience. Holi is significant for commemorating many myths and legends and symbolizes cleansing, a fresh start, and celebrating the coming of spring. In Foster City we will play Holi only with colored powder. Baybasi, Inc. is excited to provide this free annual cultural community event!
Program activities include the following:
Food vendors offering tastes of India from a variety of regions
Traditional Indian music and dance
Throwing of powder colors
