Monthly Lunch Gathering
Celebrating India & the Holi Festival of Spring, Color, and Love
Wednesday, March 26
Register by Sunday, March 23 for less!
 
 
Holi is the popular Festival of Spring, Color, Love falling typically on the full moon in March. While the Holi Festival is rooted in Hindu tradition, it is celebrated worldwide and inclusive of all people. Holi celebrates the arrival of spring and the blossoming of love. As a time to enjoying spring's abundant colors and say farewell to winter, the throwing of colored pigments is a popular way to celebrate. While we won't be making a mess of you or Gorder Hall at the Lunch Gathering, we invite you to wear your brightest colors, bring your good Springtime cheer, and enjoy great company and great food!
