We had heard about the "Festival of Colors" for years, and on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon we headed out to Richmond Hill in Queens to find out more.
The festival and parade is called the "Phagwah Holi" and it is a celebration of Spring, culture and colors with roots in Hindu mythology. Families and friends gather and the festive atmosphere is contagious with food, laughter, dancing and splashes of color everywhere.
