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.

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.
