Plymouth's first Holi One a big success

Over a thousand people turned out at Newnham Park on Saturday (Saturday 19 July) to join in Plymouth’s first Holi One festival.

After much anticipation, music lovers soaked up a packed day of colour, sun, excitement and entertainment from a host of DJs.

Stephan Dau, founder of Holi One Colour Festivals, was amazed at the turnout. He said: “We were overwhelmed with the number of people that attended the event. Newnham Park has provided the perfect venue for people to celebrate the colour of everyday life with their friends! We’re really looking forward to the rest of our tour of Holi One festivals in the UK this year.”

Against a backdrop of dance and DJ music, revellers at Holi One throw powders into the air to create an explosion of colour and excitement aimed at celebrating togetherness and the colour of everyday life. 

Last year, Holi One Colour festivals were attended by 100,000 people worldwide and took place across cities and countries that included London, South Africa and Berlin.

This year, the Holi One UK tour will take place in London, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Dublin, Belfast and Bristol-Bath.
