Help Keep Baltimore's Holi Festival Accessible

Donation protected
We’re raising $3,000 to support the annual Baltimore Holi Festival at Wyman Park Dell in April 2026 (final date to be announced). This celebration is centered on playing colors, and enjoying Indian food, music, and dance. After a difficult year for many, this event creates a space for shared joy and connection.
Your contribution helps make our annual Holi celebration accessible. Supply costs have increased significantly this year, and reaching our $3,000 goal will ensure that tickets remain accessible for participants. All funds raised will support this event and future Holi community programming through Friends of Wyman Park Dell.

Funds are managed by Friends of Wyman Park Dell and directed through their official Venmo account: FriendsWymanParkDell (no spaces).

Help Us Bring Holi to Wyman Park Dell
A Community Celebration of Joy, Color, and Togetherness
Holi, the Indian Festival of Colors, celebrates unity, joy, and inclusivity. As participants share vibrant pigments, visible differences fall away, creating a sense of equality and connection. At its core, Holi brings people together through play, belonging, and collective celebration.

After a difficult year for many, the festival offers an important opportunity for collective joy and community celebration.
All funds raised through this campaign will support event costs and help to keep ticket prices affordable for community access. Support will be directed to the Friends of Wyman Park Dell via their official Venmo account: Friends Wyman Park Dell.
