Jaiyen and Kishyn want to share how they celebrate Holi, the Festival of Colors, with their family, who are from India. From home, to school, to the iconic Chicago Landmark of Navy Pier - Holi celebrations have a significant impact on their lives. They have created traditions which are unique to them, especially being US-born, Indian-Americans. They look forward to sharing their traditions with friends and family around them. You are invited to join the celebrations and learn about Holi with them.
