Hathaway Brown's Center for Multicultural Affairs is proud to host the school's first Holi Celebration on campus April 9-12.
Holi is a Hindu-based festival of colors which is celebrated in some parts of India as well as other countries around the world. Among other things, the festival celebrates the arrival of Spring as an opportunity for renewal and coming together. The festival is typically celebrated in March and was observed by many while HB students were away for Spring Break.
Throughout the week, a number of activities will allow the school community to mark the occasion.
- Special student presentations
- Holi treats
- Bollywood music during lunch
- Colorful streamers in the Atrium to represent the throwing of gulal
- Participatory Rangoli art
- Holi songs
- Mini Holi festivals throughout the school
- Colors of Spring dress-down day
