February 28, 2023 (IANSlife) The arrival of spring! On March 18, the Seaport will hold its yearly Holi celebration in collaboration with The Culture Tree and South Street Seaport Museum. Originating in the Indian Subcontinent, the springtime celebration of Holi is now celebrated all over the world as a way to celebrate the arrival of spring, embrace inclusivity, and have some fun with color.
“The Seaport would not be the same without the people and events that nurture inclusivity, promote creativity and deepen cultural understanding,” says Ellie Chamberland, Vice President of Marketing at the Howard Hughes Corporation. “We are grateful for our relationship with The Culture Tree and the opportunity to host an annual Holi celebration with our neighbors.”
The schedule of events for the Holi festival at the Seaport is as follows:
Holi festivities will end with powder play, the quintessential part of the holiday when everyone may joyfully toss the vibrant traditional colors throughout the Seaport (Holi Hai!!). The colour throwing will begin at 1 p.m. on Fulton and Front streets and the colors may be purchased from vendors at the event. Visitors can also sample traditional Indian cuisine enjoyed during this annual holiday, and shop at the outdoor Indian market on Front Street featuring nearly a dozen Indian-owned businesses, including Tagmo, the Seaport’s own Indian restaurant.
Head to The Seaport website to register for all activities hosted at the South Street Seaport Museum and for more information on Holi, the festival of colors.
WHEN: March 18, 2023 starting at 11 a.m.
WHERE: South Street Seaport Museum, 12 Fulton Street, New York
