Red Baraat Festival of Colors celebrates the Hindu holiday of Holi with a colorful array of South Asian sounds. Traditionally, Holi is marked by public gatherings of families and strangers sharing songs, dance, and the exchange of ‘colors’ –colorful dry powder or colored water playfully thrown amongst the crowds of revelers. It signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, and for many, a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair ruptured relationships.
Red Baraat Festival of Colors is an immersive celebration through music, dance and visuals. The Festival debuted in 2012 and now tours over a dozen cities in the United States. Each year, bandleader and dhol (double-headed drum) player, Sunny Jain curates a night of music highlighting the South Asian Diaspora through a diverse range of styles. This year's Festival will feature Vidya Vox. She brings together influences of her Indian-American heritage to create a sound that fuses Indian music with elements of electronica and hip-hop.
MONA members may buy seated, general admission tickets for $20 each, regularly $29.25 including fees. Tickets will be at Will Call on the MONA guest list, under member name - please bring ID. Each guest may save one additional seat for another guest with the same ticket type. Tables vary in size with the largest seating up to 8.
