I had an amazing time at the United India Association of New England’s Holi celebration Sunday!

There really isn’t a good way to describe the jubilation and outpouring of love, colors and renewal that this festival embodies. It’s something you have to experience.

Thank you to the Shivalaya Temple of Greater Boston for hosting the event, MGH for sponsoring and everyone who attended and busted a move with me on the dance floor!

Thank you.
Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn
