2013 Holi / Phagwah Events in Orlando
This Sunday is Holi, also known as Phagwah or the Festival of Colors, an Indian festival commemorating the beginning of Spring. From 11:00am to 7:00pm, come to the Citrus Bowl (1610 W Church St) for this free event featuring dance performances, singing, fashion shows, and plenty of food and drink vendors.
One of the reason Holi is known as the Festival of Colors is because attendees throw masses of colored powder at each other. It's customary to wear white (think: color run), but whatever you wear, just make sure you don't mind getting colorful!

Be sure to start lining up at 9:30am this Saturday, because when Winter Park's 59th Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Central Park kicks off at 10:00am sharp, all hell will break loose.
