Visitors can also sample traditional Indian cuisine enjoyed during this annual holiday, purchase Holi’s signature colored powders and shop at the outdoor Indian market at Pier 16 featuring nearly a dozen Indian owned-businesses. Holi will take place Saturday, March 23, from 11:00am–1:00pm, no outside colors are permitted. In celebration of Holi, guests are encouraged to wear an all-white outfit to help amplify the Powder Play experience.
