EL MONTE,CA -The Gujarati Society of Southern California Youth Chapter held their inaugural Holi event, ‘Holi Hai 2019,’ on March 24 at the Whittier Narrows Recreation Park, here. The celebration kicked off at noon with DJ Pratik from Fusion Sounds playing Holi classics from Bollywood. With over 600 pre-registrations and 200 walk-ins,
this festival saw huge interest not only within the Indian diaspora but from all cultures. This theme of diversity was reflected in the cuisines that were offered during the festival. Food vendor Spice Bites served a fusion of Indian and Mexican cuisine — with Indian style tater tots and tacos being their most popular dishes. Biryani Factory offered their popular vegetable biryani, samosa, and gobi manchurian.
The first 500 tickets received ‘Holi Hai!’ t-shirts. With timed color throws at the top of every hour, participants had the opportunity to celebrate and party together. DJ Krishan fueled the fun with regular showers of colored water on participants. GSSC included a raffle drawing for tickets to the Arijit Singh concert.
