Our Community. One Celebration. Infinite Color

The Venice Beach HOLI Bash is the festival of colors that signifies the beginning of Spring. It showcases a wide variety of South Asian talent including dancers, musicians and painters while the audience throws colorful powder and enjoys Indian cuisine on the iconic Venice Beach boardwalk.
Our annual cultural festival is family friendly and free to attend. Public participation is encouraged as we give away free colorful HOLI powder for guests to enjoy!

It is also supported by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts & Culture.
Co-produced with LA Department of Recreation & Parks, plus additional support from Councilwoman Traci Park and the Port of Long Beach ("The Port of Choice").
