Manchester is set to explode in a riot of colours this weekend as the region embraces Holi. The ancient Indian festival of colours has evolved far beyond its traditional roots to become a cultural phenomenon.

There is a range of events happening in Manchester to mark the Hindu festival that celebrates spring, love, and new life and the victory of good over evil, many of which can be found on event marketplace, Eventbrite.

The Manchester Desi Saturday Nightclub - Holi Special will get the party started with RnB, Desi, Bollywood, Afrobeats, Garage and Bhangra and all are welcome.
