The annual Festival of Colors was back again at Whittier
Narrows Park in El Monte, California and young and old welcomed in the spring on a somewhat cloudy day on Saturday March 10 and Sunday March 11. Admission to the festival was just eight dollars, which didn’t include if one wanted the color. The tradition of the Holi
people is meant to chase away evil spirits with the throwing of colors on people, creating harmony and unity for all.
Color was available in packets of 8 for 20 dollars at the table as people entered the festival.
The color took away the race and ethnicity and made everyone the same for one day.
Mantra Bands had people in the center of the park throwing color as they listened to positive encouraging music all day long and everyone embrace in free love and hugs.
