Festival of Globe (FOG) in association with Fremont Hindu Temple and Federation of Indo-Americans is organizing the Holi festival celebration on a grand scale. This year the “Festival of Colors” is being celebrated on Saturday, March 7, at Washington High School in Fremont.
Dr. Romesh Japra, Founder and Convener (FOG) said, “FOG Holi has over the years played an important role in keeping our culture alive and inculcating pious values in our youngsters…I invite everyone to participate in this festival with their friends and family.”
Holi is a great festive occasion to celebrate and get inundated with a rainbow of colors. Everyone applies colors to each other and makes friends. People from all over California are expected to participate in the festivities. Many dignitaries and community leaders will attend. The colors are biodegradable, skin-friendly and organic.
This year FOG Holi will also celebrate women’s empowerment month by honoring and recognizing women leaders who have made a tremendous impact in the community by helping those in need. More than 50 non-profit organizations will be participating in a “Colors of India” segment where different states of India will showcase their cultural performances.
A few Holi tips: Wear white or light colored shirt. Holi colors look better that way. Your clothes will get covered in Holi colors. Apply light cream to your face to help remove colors easily. Cover your car seat to avoid smudges from Holi colors. It’s ok to apply color to anyone out there while wishing “Happy Holi.” It’s a good way to make friends.
