Singapore’s biggest Holi festival happens on 25 February, featuring live performances, DJs, water jets and lots of coloured powder
In the spirit of Holi’s theme of togetherness, a massive celebration returns to Singapore’s shores. Held at Wavehouse Sentosa on 25 February, the event features all the nuts and bolts of a Holi-style party: rhythmic, percussive beats of the dhol, water jets, loads of coloured powder (it’s lab-tested and safe), and complemented with DJs and live performances.
If you’re new to Holi, here’s what you need to know. The Hindu spring festival welcomes a season of hope and joy, and rejoices the ultimate victory of good over evil across various legends. Holi is loved by all for good reason; aside from the hearty, colourful celebrations, the festival transcends social classes and brings people together. And hey, it’s always fun to get covered in colours, and becoming a human kaleidoscope with your pals and new friends.
Pro tips from the organisers: Bring a spare change of clothes and leave anything valuable at home. But don’t worry, your memories of this day will last longer than the stains acquired.
Singapore’s Biggest Holi, 25 February, 9am-6pm, Wavehouse Sentosa, 36 Siloso Beach Walk, Singapore 099007. For tickets and more information, head to the event page.
