About this event
Festival Of Colours is returning!
Due to popular demand, Sunday February 27th, 2022 will see the event celebrated on the Elephant Walk, Front Beach Foreshore, The Esplanade, Torquay, from 11am-4pm; giving the opportunity for holiday makers and locals to enjoy the colour and excitement of this unique festival.
Bring your smile, an open heart and a white t-shirt for best results.
Every hour in front of the main stage we throw coloured powder into the air with family and friends. Colours spring from our hearts and rain from the sky as we dance and sing together!
Meet people, enjoy the live stage entertainment, have your face painted or fortune told and soak up the festive atmosphere. This fun and relaxing day is a family friendly event.
Super delicious vegetarian/vegan food will be available for purchase throughout the day.
The Festival of Colours celebrates the oneness of human spirit and is based upon an ancient festival originating in India where Krishna, the God of play, would engage in throwing coloured powders with His cowherd friends.
The festival signifies the blooming of colour which manifests when we exchange heart felt friendship. Celebrating peace and harmony and bringing people closer together, the members of Hare Krishna Valley are staging this festival for the visitors and community of the Surf Coast.
The Festival of Colours is proudly supported by the Surf Coast Shire and Victorian Multicultural Commission.
