If dancing in a crowed of colour, while throwing powder paint at friends and total strangers sounds like your idea of a good time, then we advise you read on.
After last years successful London debut at Battersea Power station, the Holi Festival returns to the UK capital once more, for its second official appearance.
The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park hosts 2014’ s Holi Festival of Colours, bringing a reappearance of the feel-good vibes that invaded East London during the London Olympic Games, two years ago, back in 2012. With tickets for Saturday 28th June selling out in a blink of an eye, you’ll be pleased to know that a second date of flamboyant fun has been scheduled, with the announcement of a second date, taking place on Sunday 29th June.
Planning to visit London for Holi Fest? or don’t know how to get there? Finding your way to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park couldn’t be easier, with a total of 9 tube and train links in proximity, the nearest underground station being Stratford. If you’re driving down, you’ll want to know that the M25 is just 30 minutes away, with ample parking available at Westfield Stratford City. We recommend you make a weekend of it though!

With last year’s event a huge success, at what is another iconic London venue, Battersea Power station, organisers had been quick to repeat the feat, searching to find somewhere even better. So while last years fun took place on a hard concrete surface, this years soft green grass on offer at The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park breads further hope for an even better time. You might want to bring your wellies if its raining mind!
With live music, from Drunken Masters, Eskei83, Zane Lowe, Bombay Boogie Soundsystem, tasty food, drinks and a licence to throw coloured powder EVERYWHERE, this years fest is set to be another memorable event on the 2014 calendar.
