This Saturday was the annual Holi Festival of Colors held at the Hare Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. It celebrates the arrival of spring and involves hundreds of Mormon college students throwing up colored powder, taking far too many pictures, and posting them all on Facebook as soon as possible.
This year, two separate celebrations were held to alleviate driving and parking problems. Still, BYU students packed as many friends as they could into their car for the drive down because they only thing worse than parking and walking for twenty minutes is parking and walking for thirty minutes. The less cars down there, the better.
For most Mormon BYU students, the Festival of Colors is the closest they'll get to a Woodstock-like experience. The place is packed, a band is playing, and people are moshing. You then have to wait for far too long until it's actually time to "throw the colors". Its worth the wait though.
