What am I in for?
Color
We are getting over 3500 pounds of five different colors, all starch based with no harmful chemicals.
Suggested use: Grab handfuls of different colors, and smear all over nearest face, self included. Try aiming for friends or family,
though complete strangers on the field wouldn't mind either. Try not to smile too wide when they return the favor – pink
teeth don't suit everyone.
Water
Water hoses, Water guns*, Water puddles in the ground! - Whatever you need to soak your friends.
Food
Savor delicious Indian food by Peacock Restaurants*. You will need all that energy to go back on the color battle-ground.
Dance Performances
What do you do when you get tired of all the great food, free showers, pretend-artists, and bathroom dancers on the field?
Stop by
the stage, and be entertained! We are hosting dance performances, by popular Bay Area dance troupes - Dance Identity, CREE8, Moksh, Dil Se and the Stanford Bhangra team.
DJ
No one can resist dancing to non-stop Bollywood music by DJ Tanveer. Don't know the moves? - pick some up today from the latest
desi video online, or even the nearest desi on the day!
Too shy? – come on, you think anyone can recognize you under all that color?!
Need more motivation? – we are giving away prizes for dancing!
Kids Corner
Kids get their own fun corner at Holi - with their own color and water section, Holi games and activities, and other palmates to keep
them company.
You are going to have a hard time dragging them away at the end of the day.
