Join us at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan for a Holi celebration in partnership with the Children’s Museum of Manhattan and The Culture Tree. The Holi holiday welcomes spring and celebrates the triumph of good over evil. Dating back thousands of years, this jubilant festival of colors has spread from India throughout the world. Mark this vibrant holiday by learning about Holi traditions through read-alouds, puppetry, a dance workshop, and more! Create a vibrantly colored mobile to evoke the spectacular shades of spring.
A general admission ticket to the Children’s Museum of Manhattan is required for entry.
