At Elon, we celebrate Holi in April, when the weather is warmer, with a traditional powdered paint-throwing extravaganza at the Speaker’s Corner on Young Commons in front of Moseley Center. 

​The festivities begin at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 13, and will last about an hour. 

Please observe these tips for attending Holi:

• Wear old flip flops and remove them before stepping onto the Holi tarp – please put your shoes on before leaving in order to protect the sidewalks
• Wear old clothes – Holi paint stains! Also, you might want to consider a ball cap unless you prefer to have colored hair (in this case, you will be pleased with the results which could last up to a week)
• Don’t bring much with you – anything you carry after Holi WILL get paint on it – stash anything you bring across the sidewalk from the tarp set-up
• Be careful when leaving Holi not to come in contact with walls, sidewalks, the interior of buildings, etc. until you have showered – showering immediately is a good idea
• Clean up after yourself, especially in residence hall showers

Please also make plans to attend an Indian Shabbat co-sponsored by Elon Hillel and the Truitt Center for Religious & Spiritual Life at 7 p.m. in the McBride Gathering Space, Numen Lumen Pavilion.  An RSVP is not required to attend.
