So I've been to the Holi Fest in Spanish Fork before and this year I thought I would probably skip it since I have gone in 2010 and 2011. But it turned out that I have friends who had not been yet so I went back for another dose of colored corn starch. It's something you should experience once and as long as I have friends who haven't experienced it, I will probably continue to go back. If nothing else it makes for some fun photos.
Holi Fest Tips
- Only wear clothes that you are willing to throw away. Sometimes the color will come out and sometimes it will not.
- A bandanna and sun glasses can help protect yourself. Contacts are a bad idea.
- Bring a change of clothes for wearing to keep your car clean.
- Be prepared to be hit with colors long before you make it to the temple. If you are bringing a camera make sure its protected.
- Bring garbage sacks to put your colored clothes in or to protect your car seats.
- Bring a camera. This is an event that deserves photos. Even if you leave the camera in the car while you are at the festival.
- Save some of your colors to apply right before the photos. Otherwise you might just look purplish gray in all the photos.
