Johannesburg, March 2015 – On Friday 1 May 2015, Johannesburg will see the return of the HOLI ONE Colour Festival, which brings together partygoers of all ages, races, cultures and personalities to experience an unforgettable festival of light, love, and, of course, colour.
Sharing the same message of hope and positivity as the Hindu holiday of Holi, this non-religious festival aims to unite thousands in an event that blends music, dance, visuals and performance art. Festivals are held around the world in every continent, including Africa, Australia, America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
Partygoers dressed in white soon find themselves united through a rainbow of colours as every hour on the hour, a countdown begins, signalling the throwing of brightly coloured, eco-friendly powder that fills the air. Along with powder in five different colours, food and drinks will also be on sale, while a host of facilities will be provided to ensure that revellers are kept safe and comfortable for the duration of the festival.
“I think this was one of the best parties of my life.” – Nici, HOLI ONE Bremen.
This year’s line-up promises to be even bigger and better than ever before, with a selection of local and international talents in the electronic dance music scene taking to the stage.
