Celebrate Holi, Community, and Well-Being with NaanStop’s Color Festival

Posted March 1, 2025

Buckhead is a place where culture, community, and well-being intersect, and nothing embodies this spirit better than NaanStop’s Annual Holi Color Festival & Fundraiser. This vibrant event, happening on Saturday, March 15, from 11 AM to 2 PM at 3420 Piedmont Road NE, is more than just a festival—it’s a joyful experience that brings people together through color, music, and tradition. Holi, the Indian festival of colors, symbolizes renewal, inclusivity, and the triumph of good over adversity. And just as Buckhead’s green spaces like PATH400 encourage movement and mindfulness, Holi inspires us to celebrate life, connect with others, and embrace the moment.

Adding to the energy of the festival, NaanStop’s Holi celebration supports mental well-being through joy, movement, and giving back. Studies show that engaging in community events and outdoor activities can boost happiness and reduce stress—just like taking a walk through Buckhead’s scenic paths or joining buckheadWALKS!. This year’s festival includes color throws every 30 minutes, live music, dance lessons, interactive games, kids’ crafts, and free snacks, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Plus, a portion of the proceeds will benefit Raksha, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering South Asian survivors of violence, making this event not just a celebration but a meaningful way to support healing and justice.

So, whether you’re dancing to the beat of Bhangra, tossing bursts of color into the air, or simply enjoying a stroll before or after the event, Holi at NaanStop is an invitation to immerse yourself in culture, community, and joy. Put on your white clothes, bring your best energy, and let’s make this festival a moment of shared happiness and connection.
