Are you looking for something out of the ordinary to do this weekend? I have that very thing for you to do: FESTIVAL of COLORS!
Once a year the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, has the Festival of Colors for Holi. The Festival is this Saturday and the throwing of the colors with be at noon and at four!
I went last year and it was one of the funnest things I have done in Provo! I strongly recommend that you all go, because it is unlike anything else you can do in Provo and it only happens once a year!!!
Festival of Colors is fun because at noon and four they will be throwing colors. What happens is after the bonfire everyone literally just throws colored powder/chalk at each other. You end up in a cloud of colors and you are covered from head to toe in every color imaginable. (Word to the wise: be careful breathing when the colors are being thrown because you will intake a lot of powder, but it isn't harmful!)
It costs two dollars to buy a bag of colored powder, or it is 5 dollars to buy three bags of powder. You don't even need to necessarily buy any of the powder/chalk because there is so much in the air, but I think it is more fun if you participate in throwing it!
Festival of Colors is such a fun thing to do and it is something you have to experience while in Provo! I will be there on Saturday and I will let you know how it goes! Hopefully it will be an adventure :)!

ReplyDeleteAh i am just about to leave to go. so excited!
ReplyDeleteMy friend tried to invite me to go and I resisted. Now I'm regretting it.
ReplyDeletewish I didn't always have something big going on during this. One of these years I will make it there.
ReplyDeleteWoah that is an awesome picture! This year was my second time going to Festival of Colors, and it was a lot of fun! But definitely cover your mouth when they start throwing colors or it is really hard to breathe, and it can be a little scary!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check it next year!
