PEOPLE taking a stroll on Midway Beach next Sunday should avoid wearing their Sunday-best if they intend to take part in Gisborne’s second annual Holi Festival.
Organised by Tairawhiti Multicultural Council (TMC), the event celebrates the Hindu spring festival of Holi, also known as the festival of colours, where participants
play, chase and colour each other with powder.
TMC president Vijendra Reddy said 15kg of powder had been ordered for the festival.
“We did it last year. There were about 100 people. We are expecting 200 this year.”
Mr Reddy said the celebration was a free community event.
