Get ready to celebrate joy, music, and vibrant tradition—St. Catharines’ Holi Festival of Colour is back and bigger than ever. Recognized as one of Ontario’s Top 100 Festivals, this free, family-friendly event is entering its fourth year with a new location and an exciting lineup of cultural festivities. Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 14 from 1–5 p.m. at the Meridian Centre Lot (1 David S. Howes Way) and get ready to experience one of the most colourful days of the year.

This year’s celebration promises an unforgettable afternoon with live music, Dhol drum performances, and traditional Indian dance. DJ Goldy returns to set the rhythm while local vendors serve up authentic Indian cuisine and showcase unique handcrafted goods. Of course, the highlight remains the legendary colour throw—a joyful, all-ages explosion of powdered colour that captures the true spirit of Holi.

Hosted in partnership with Adapt Immigration and Downtown St. Catharines, the festival is a vibrant reflection of our city’s diversity and community spirit. Whether you’re a longtime attendee or experiencing Holi for the first time, this celebration is your invitation to come together, share in the joy, and help paint downtown St. Catharines in every shade of joy.
