Skokie's first "Holi: Festival of Colours" was off the charts! 

A spring festival celebrated across the Indian subcontinent, as well as internationally, Holi signifies the arrival of spring, and for many, a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, and to repair broken relationships.

This years event wrapped up the first day of the Skokie Festival of Cultures at Oakton Park, with more than 400 participants enjoying colorful powder, dance and music.
