Holi.

Last night, I discovered something magical.

What is this sorcery, you might ask?

WELL.
It just so happens to be Holi Festival, or Festival of Colours, located in Spanish Forks, Utah. It's a Hindu festival that welcomes in the spring. It also celebrates the miraculous escape of a young boy from a fire (one of their legends), and includes a bonfire on which they burn an life sized doll of the witch who dragged the boy into the fire in the first place. There's also live music, dancing, food... Basically the best thing ever.

Holi is celebrated all over the world, but the Festival in Spanish Forks is the largest one in the western hemisphere, and drew in more then 50 000 revelers to the event this year.

Now you might be asking, what's with the picture?
A highlight of the festival is when everyone in the crowd throws coloured powders into the air that get all over everything and make it even more magical.
How freakin' sweet is that?

Basically, it's a massive colourful mess, and I'm going next year.

Here's a link to a video about it. Seriously, go home and watch it. MAGICAL.
