Next spring, the Faith and Community Alliance is hosting its first ever Festival of Colors at Central Park, Santa Clara.

Inspired by the Indian celebration of Holi, the event will be a joyful gathering of families, congregations and community groups from across the county. Guests can look forward to live music, traditional Indian dance performances, and of course, the playful throwing of colorful powders that makes Holi famous around the world.

The event will be co-hosted by St. Mary’s Interfaith Center and the Santa Clara Hindu Temple, with support from local churches, mosques and community groups. Together, they are inviting everyone - of every faith and background - to take part.

More than just a festival, it’s a chance to celebrate unity, friendship and the arrival of spring. Whether you’re experiencing Holi for the first time or it’s a tradition in your family, all are welcome to join this vibrant day of joy and renewal.
