Thank you to everyone who attended our fifth annual Downtown St. Catharines Holi Festival of Colour. A 2-day festival experience featuring our Pre-Holi Bollywood Party on June 19 and the Holi Festival of Colour on June 20! This year, we expanded the festival into a two-day celebration and welcomed over 5,000 plus visitors into the Downtown Core to take part in this joyous event.
Holi, which is Hindu in origin and celebrated across South Asia and around the world, is a festival that celebrates singing, food, dancing, peace, fun, laughter, forgiveness, and of course – colour..!
Events like these are made possible thanks to the 500+ Downtown Businesses that come together to make Downtown St. Catharines the incredible and welcoming community it is!
Thank you to the 2026 Holi Planning Committee for sharing their talents, insights, and hearts each year to help create an authentic experience, and to the many volunteers who come out to ensure its success.
We Appreciate Our Many Partners!
