HOLI ONE Colour Festival SA

Announces Johannesburg Festival Details

 

6^th April 2013 | Emmarentia Dam

 

Something colourful is on its way!

 

 

 

 

After the announcement that the HOLI ONE Colour Festival will be launching in South Africa, with the first event  scheduled for Cape Town on the 2^nd of March 2013, people were asking ‘When is this coming to Johannesburg?’ The excitement surrounding this event is tangible, and we are proud to announce the details for the first-ever HOLI ONE Colour Festival in Johannesburg!

The event will take place on Saturday, the 6^th of April at Emmarentia Dam, from 12:00 – 20:00. Expect a day of top electronic dance music artists, exhilarating energy, and last but not least, throwing the colourful HOLI ONE powder in the air (and at each other) on the hour, every hour, from 13:00 onwards. Throwing the powder not only creates an amazing visual experience for all those attending, but also expresses freedom and the colour of everyday life. The motto for the HOLI ONE Colour Festival is ‘We Are All One’ which encompasses the passion and showcases the diversity that our beautiful country represents.

Inspired by the original Holi Festival in India, the day is a huge fun-filled celebration of music and dancing, and has no religious aspects connected to it, but shares the same values in bringing people together in love and peace. The festival concept has quickly gained popularity worldwide with colour festivals springing up in Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Hannover, the USA and Singapore.

The HOLI ONE coloured powders are safe, water soluble, completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

If you would like to take part in the festivities, make sure you get your hands on the hottest ticket in town! Artist line-up to be announced soon!
