Join the community for the vibrant and joyful Athens Festival of Colors 2026, a lively celebration inspired by the Indian holiday Holi, which honors renewal, unity, and shared humanity. 🌈🎨

The festival will take place from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at West State Street Park Shelter #2, featuring upbeat music, cultural performances, and an interactive Indian dance lesson that welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds. Attendees will have the opportunity to celebrate together by tossing colorful powders—an iconic Holi tradition symbolizing joy, equality, and community spirit. 🎶💃

This free, family-friendly event is open to everyone. Participants are encouraged to wear white clothing (or anything they don’t mind getting colorful!) to fully enjoy the experience. 

The festival is sponsored by the Friends of India Endowment, with generous donations from community supporters including Middle Path Yoga and Holy Cow!
