Join us at Pier 57 for a free afternoon of learning and discovery as we celebrate Holi in partnership with The Culture Tree. The Holi holiday welcomes spring and honors the triumph of good. Dating back thousands of years, this jubilant festival of colors has spread from India throughout the world. Mark this vibrant holiday by learning about Holi traditions through artmaking, read-alouds, a drum performance, dance, and more!
