Bring in Spring with Holi, the Festival of Colour!
Morning Ticket: 10:30am – 1:15pm
Afternoon Ticket: 2:30pm – 5:15pm
Join us for a colour-filled extravaganza as we celebrate the festival of Holi and welcome spring, love, and new life through vibrant colour.
Come and join in–we’ve got crazily colourful community murals to paint and a giant community cave to decorate with spectacular dazzling colours! Look out for the camouflage chameleons and the giant Hornbill bird!
We’ll be creating: colourful Community Murals (paisley-patterns & camouflaged chameleons), a giant colourful nest for our spectacular resident Hornbill bird (and its chicks), Spin Art, Weave Art, Human Spirographs and Splat Art!
Learn about a world cultural festival, experience the pleasure of making artwork with others, make the festival your own by being a part of the community that shapes new ways of celebrating Holi integrated with other spring festivals within the local community, feel the excitement of seeing the giant mural take shape and share the excitement afterwards with family and friends as it will remain on display for several weeks as part of the Holi exhibition.
There’s no age limit for fun…be amazed by the power of colour…get your colour on!

About Holi
Holi is a festival that celebrates spring, love, and new life through vibrant colour. The festival originated in India but has been adopted around the world. It’s also sometimes called the “festival of love” as on this day people unite, forgetting all bad feelings towards each other. The festival is perhaps most recognised by the fun activity of throwing powder paint at each other.
