On Saturday, I headed up to Wembley to go to London's Holi One Colour Festival with my sister, and friends Tess & Ania. These festivals happen all over the world, and is inspired by the Indian Holi Festival (होली) and promotes the idea of togetherness and the colour of everyday life. I've always wanted to go to one of these, and it definitely did not disappoint; I'd say that Saturday was on of the greatest experiences of my life.
It was visually incredible, with people having fun listening to the amazing music, and watching indian inspired dances, whilst releasing the toxic free colourful powder. The music was unbelievable and had everyone up and dancing (I should apologise to everyone who saw my enthusiastic dancing, as I'm not the best).
We dressed in white and when we arrived felt very clean compared to everyone else, so quickly got playful with our powders.
Everyone there looked incredible, and some people mixed their powder with liquid to give solid colour. Here were some of my favourite looks I saw:
There was an hourly countdown when everyone would release their powder together and it was the most incredible sight ever.
A man even proposed to his girlfriend (she said yes), so it was very relevant to the traditional Indian festival, which is also known as the festival of love.
I would 100% recommend the Holi One Colour Festival to anyone. I'll put their website here, as they have festivals all over the world, and it really was one of the greatest experiences ever. I can't believe we had that much fun in a car park outside Wembley stadium - I would have thought it was all a dream were it not for the state of my clothes the next morning (it all washed out with a bit of vanish).
Let me know if you've been to the Holi One festival before, or if this post has inspired you.
Until next time... x
