Join us for the nation’s largest FREE Holi celebration!
Celebrate the Festival of Colors with an unforgettable day of live music, high-energy dance performances, DJs, and the iconic powder-throwing experience along Chicago’s lakefront. This vibrant Global Connections celebration brings together culture, community, and color for a joyful, all-ages event.
Color powder will be available for purchase on-site while supplies last. Please note, for the safety of guests and to protect the Pier, outside powder is not permitted. Only event-approved powder purchased on-site may be used during the celebration.
