    This Saturday March 19th, 2022, The Knockturnal was on the scene at Arthafest, the first annual Holi Festival celebration and ‘Throwing of Color,’ presented by Artha Wellness Sanctuary.

    This amazing Holi celebration was in Burbank at DeBell Gardens in honor of the traditional Indian holiday, Holi. Holi is an annual festival held in India which marks the beginning of Spring. This holiday is celebrated all over India and represents the triumph of good over evil, the arrival of Spring, the end of Winter, and the blossoming of Love. During this holiday, people celebrate by throwing colors, spraying water, and eating tons of delicious food while dancing and enjoying time together. This colorful celebration was presented by El Cristiano tequila, Sunny vodka, DAH! yogurt, Essentia water and Chiki Chiki Boom Boom.
