Attire: ALL WHITE
If you're still in town (and awake), come say goodbye with colors and Beignets. Wear all white (something you don't mind getting destroyed).
Holi, a tradition that originated from the Hindu festival of colors, has spread through the South Asian diaspora. In our version, we'll ask folks to come in white and be prepared for a color fight (we'll provide the colors!).
