Holi Festival of Colours World Tour coming to Jozi
Tickets start at R255, with early bird tickets available at R205 for the first 1 500 tickets sold
Since it first launched in Germany in 2012, the acclaimed Holi Festival of Colours has become synonymous with unity, celebration, and, of course, colour. This year, the festival comes to South Africa, with a much-anticipated event taking stage in the heart of Johannesburg on August 23 at Bidvest Wanderers Cricket Stadium.
Taking place on the day of the full moon of the Phaluga month, Holi is one of India’s most famous festivals. This Hindu event celebrates the start of spring; the triumph of good over bad and the unifying of people across all races, genders and ages.
The western Holi Festival of Colours aims to bring the same message of hope, positivity and equality to millions of partygoers, with global events taking place across the world.
The 2014 Holi Festival of Colours World Tour takes place across many countries worldwide, including South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.
The South African event is expected to draw a huge following, as revelers prepare to unite under a cloud of multi-coloured paint powder from noon until late. Local and international music acts, a host of special features, top-of-the-line event planning, security, food and drink stalls and many other event highlights will also be par for the course over the duration of this full-day event.
Tickets start at R255, with early bird tickets available at R205 for the first 1 500 tickets sold. Packages and VIP tickets (R445) are also available, which include powder bags and other inclusive highlights.
