Fire Mountain School fundraiser celebrates end of winter
MANZANITA — Come cele-
brate spring with a blast of
color and joy at the beach.
Fire Mountain School and
Moxie Fair Trade will host
the second annual Holi Col-
orfest with a day of colorful
activities from noon to 2 p.m.
Saturday, March 21.
Holi is a traditional hol-
iday in India known as the
festival of colors or the fes-
tival of love. During Holi,
people throw colored pow-
ders and liquids at one anoth-
er. An ancient Hindu festival,
Holi has become popular
with non-Hindus around the
ZRUOG 7KH IHVWLYDO VLJQL¿HV
the victory of good over evil,
the arrival of spring, the end
of winter, and for many, a
festive day to meet others,
play and laugh, forget and
forgive, and repair ruptured
relationships.
Normally celebrated on
the last full moon day of the
lunar month of winter, Holi
was celebrated March 6 in
India. The event in Manzani-
ta on Saturday will celebrate
Holi on the spring equinox,
which mixes the color-blast-
ing joy of Holi with Oregon’s
spring break fun to signify
the end of winter and the be-
ginning of spring.
Registration and color
pick up will be on the beach
at the bottom of Laneda Av-
enue from 11 a.m. to noon.
