Holi festival st Georges market Feb

St. George’s Market explodes into colour!


Belfast will experience a taste of India when ‘Holi – The Festival of Colours’, one of the most colourful and vibrant festivals in India, is celebrated in St George’s Market on Sunday 28 February from 1pm- 6pm.

Known as the Festival of Colours, ‘Holi’ signifies the spirit of brotherhood and unity and welcomes everyone from all sections of the community, regardless of race or religion, to come together. The festival uses colour to symbolise equality, wherein all the people drenched in different colours, lose their identity to become one.

The festival, organised by Arts Ekta, is a great family day out and although traditionally an Indian festival, visitors will participate, learn and experience the vibrancy of all cultures that live in Belfast. There will be lots of entertainment including top-class Bollywood dancers, a Bhangra DJ, local cultural performances and an spectacular world food market as well as the opportunity to throw colour among friends in a party atmosphere, so don’t forget to wear old clothes!

Admission is free

The Event is supported by Belfast City Council and PSNI
