Holi, the Hindu celebration that welcomes spring with vividly colored powders, will be hosted in a free event at Navy Pier as part of the Global Connections series. On Saturday, March 23, 2024, participants can throw a rainbow of colored powders outside on the South Dock.

Symbolizing the triumph of good over evil, the powders will be available for purchase to toss in designated outdoor areas. Free dance and musical performances will continue the festivities inside the Aon Grand Ballroom.

Food vendors will serve up Indian specialties for visitors to enjoy as part of the Holi celebration. Live DJs will spin Bollywood grooves at Navy Pier’s Beer Garden. The event runs from 1:00 pm-5:00 pm.
