"Inside of our creative arts studio you can explore Rangoli art using chalk and black paper. Also, we'll have a science program and we're looking at dye making," Defassio said.
Celebrations of Holi are usually very colorful, with people throwing color on each other, similar to a color run.
"And there's a lot of singing, dancing, food everywhere. The most fun part is that you can't recognize yourself the next day because you're all full of color," Duta said.
