The festival of colours in upon us, and there’s a reason why Holi is loved and celebrated by people of all age groups—there’s a feeling of community, celebration and the coming together of people to have fun. In fact, this is one of the few festivals where we notice people who normally don’t like to party finally let loose (I know that’s not thandai you’re drinking, mom).
Now, I like parties as much as the next person, but we gotta admit, we find ourselves being *extra* cautious during Holi, because this is one festival where it seems like creeps have a free pass to harass women. Keeping that in mind, we’ve curated a list of fun—and safe—Holi parties in your city. Make sure to surround yourself with your closest friends and family to feel safe and have a blast.
