If you are looking for a cultural outing to welcome spring you should look into participating in the Holi Festival in Utah County.
The tradition of this festival comes from India. In India the Holi Festival celebrates spring and recognizes the passing of winter. Everyone that attends the festival is able to purchase colored chalk.
This colored chalk represents everyone’s worries. Everyone socializes and joins together to get rid themselves of all bad things.
The music begins and everyone dances and while everyone dances the colored chalk is thrown into the air, symbolizing the letting go of the worries. There are red, green, yellow, blue, black and silver chalks all for sale.
There will also be mantra rock bands present and a large bonfire will be lit.
Friends and foe alike will gather to celebrate with one another, burying old hatchets. Mantras will be chanted to address the Lord. People of all faiths are invited to celebrate.
There is no cost for admission to the temple outside which the event will be held. You can come for the 12pm celebration or the 4pm celebration which will both be held on March 27th. You should arrive early to avoid traffic. To learn more visit the Krishna Temple’s website here.
If you want some extra cash to buy more bags of color but your paycheck will not come in time, stop by any Check City location today and get a cash advance. The process is easy and quick and will enable you to fully experience this Festival of Colors.
