Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is a popular Indian Spring festival that’s celebrated by people throwing colored powder and water at each other. It’s a really fun annual event organized by Vanderbilt’s Masala-SACE, the South-Asian group on campus. This year, not only will we have the more traditional colored powder and water, but we will also have jello and water balloons! We really encourage and hope that all students attend!
