The Cenla India Association, in collaboration with the Children’s Advocacy Network, will be celebrating the 8th Annual Holi Fest 2019 in downtown Alexandria, on Saturday, April 27th from 11:00am to 2:00pm. This is the only event of its kind, where colors are free, and fun is abundant for adults and children of all ages. This unforgettable experience has been an Alexandria tradition since 2011. The event grew from 50 people the first year to 500 people last year. The day starts with a 5K Race/Walk/Run. Proceeds from the run/walk/jog go to Children’s Advocacy Network. The vision of Children’s Advocacy Network is to create a community to eradicate the cycle of abuse and neglect, and ensure that every child has a safe and permanent home.
Here in Alexandria, spring comes alive with a rainbow of colors showering our downtown canvas. The festival is celebrated with much joy and vigor. Holi is not just a festival; though it’s a tradition which dates back millennia, it’s one of those festivals that brings out the child in everyone. It is, indeed, the festival of color. The time when everyone just drowns in these awesome colors of love, forgetting all their differences, is amazing.
