Have you ever wanted to run around and throw paint on people, talk to someone you don't usually get to talk to, or just play and do what ever you want. Well, the Holi Hai festival is the one for you and it takes place either at the end of February or the very begining of March.

This festival also represents the new life and begining of spring. Dan Sullivan says,

"Colours will fill the atmosphere as people throw abeer and gulal in the air showing great joy and mirth in the arrival of this Spring Festival." "The event is not just to strengthen the South Asian community; it's meant to strengthen the entire Tucson community."

On this very particular day all the people of India come together from all different classes to celebrate what is most important to them, which rejoicing with everyone and not having to worry about which class they are in. People celebrate this very big festival and throw powder on each other. On this one day the people are able to interact without having to be punished by the law. 

One resource describes the festival like this....

"For, Holi knows no bars, everybody feels it is their right to enjoy. Songs, dance, drinks, and food everything goes in excess when it is time for Holi. It can be said, "Life turns Colorful" when it is time for Holi."
