Sometimes, the visuals tell the story better than words ever could.
On Friday, we held our Holi on the Lawn program.
Holi is a religious and cultural holiday that's celebrated in India to commemorate the coming of spring.
Revelers celebrate Holi with bonfires, music, dancing and by throwing brightly colored powder or water at one another.
In the west, Holi is best known for these playful and colorful celebrations. (Hence, Holi also being known as the Festival of Colors.)
Teens had a chance to learn about Indian culture and get messy – really messy – during our program Friday.
But enough words -- check out our video and some of the pictures from Holi on the Lawn to get a taste of what happened.
