Thu 3/4 - (In)Visibly American

Sun 2/28 - Holi Potluck!

Join SALGA for a

Holi Potluck!

Sunday, February 28th

Holi is celebrated in many parts of South Asia and in the South Asian diaspora with color, music, dance and bonfires.  It marks the beginning of spring and celebrates the end of cold and hardship and the successful harvest of the winter crop.

For Hindus all over the world, Holi also celebrates the victory of goodness overcoming tyranny and intolerance.  This is symbolized in the story of Prahalad, a young boy who overcame religious intolerance imposed upon him by his father.  Holi is now celebrated by people of all faiths, religions and walks of life.  It is in this inclusive spirit of welcoming the spring and shedding the darkness of winter that SALGA would like to invite you to celebrate this colorful festival with us.

SALGA’s Holi Potluck is being hosted by a community member at a private residence.  Please RSVP for the event and provide some information about how you can contribute to the potluck (so we can try to make sure there isn’t too much overlap).  Once you RSVP, we’ll send you contact information and the address for the event.
