6^th April 2013 | Emmarentia Dam

Something colourful is on its way!

 The HOLI ONE Colour Festival will be launching in South Africa, with the very first EVER event to be held in Cape Town on the 2^nd of March 2013.  People  have been asking  me ‘When is this coming to Johannesburg? My answer is simple……  “The event will take place on Saturday, the 6^th of April at Emmarentia Dam, from 12:00 – 20:00.

You can Expect nothing less than a day of  Top Electronic Dance Music performed by Top 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, watch the clip below from 2012 Berlin and make sure you get your hands on the hottest ticket in town! Artist line-up to be announced soon!
