The Holi Festival of Colors returns to Spanish Fork for a day of music, yoga, fun, unity and of course color. The Festival of Colors is a traditional Indian holiday celebrated in an innovative fashion, adapted to the contemporary American scene. In India, Holi announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. The festival breathes an atmosphere of social merriment. People bury their hatchets with a warm embrace and throw their worries to the wind. Every nook and corner presents a colorful sight. Young and old alike are covered with colors (red, green, yellow, blue, black and silver). People in small groups are seen singing, dancing and throwing colors on each other.
