CELEBRATE HOLI SPRING FESTIVAL | MAY 27, 2023

Join Portland favorite DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid in celebrating HOLI Spring Festival, a celebration of color on Sauvie Island at Topaz Farm. Spend your weekend at a Bollywood and Bhangra dance party in the grass, surrounded by farm-fresh veggies, and maybe a farm animal or two.
