What is it?

Holi is a Hindu Spring festival, marking the beginning of spring. It is also a celebration of love; it is a time to end and rid oneself of past errors, to end conflicts… a day to forget and forgive. This day is a farewell to winter by cherishing the colors of spring. It also has religious significance and legends associated with it.

Here is a clip from the famous Bollywood movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani:

Why should we go?

Open your heart, spirit, and mind to this beautiful festival we are holding here on campus! Learn about a new culture while having an unforgettable experience. Bhangra and Bollywood will be starting off the festivities with performances. Celebrate friendships, love, and the joy of spring. I cannot think of a greater way to start off your SienaFest 2016 experience.
