Holi Festival of Colours Dortmund is an electronic music festival in Germany. Lineups packed full of local and international house music pave the way for a landslide of partying – but the real star of the show is off-stage.

Clouds of red, yellow, blue, green and pink spread a blanket over each and every person, as all racial and social divides are disintegrated in an instant. The Indian traditional rite of Holi has travelled far and wide, incorporating electronic music culture to create a unifying party unlike any other.

Dortmund joins with cities across Germany and Europe in celebrating the positivity of humankind, of great music and of time spent in creative expression alongside other like-minded people.

This festival is part of a nationwide series of Holi Festival of Colours events – see them all here.
