Celebrate Holi Aboard Peking Ship
in Manhattan’s South Street Seaport

Holi, the Indian festival of Colors, is typically celebrated to signify the commencement of spring by people throwing colored powder and colored water at each other. For the fourth year, IN Group, along with the Seaport Museum New York, brings revelers an exclusive Holi Event, “Rang Barse” on Peking Ship, a 377-foot ship docked at the South Street Seaport set against the picturesque backdrop of Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Rejoice in the Indian Festival of Colors decadently with food, drinks, unlimited “rang” (colored powder), the South Asian fusion sounds of DJ Jay Dabhi, traditional Indian dhol (drum) players, and a special Bollywood-style performance by Dhoonya Dance Group on Saturday, March 19, 2011, from noon to 3:30 p.m. at Pier 16 in South Street Seaport.

“Holi is all about new beginnings by welcoming spring with a colorful ‘spring in your step,’” says Rohika Hardas of IN Group. “People come here as strangers but leave as friends, and we’re providing a safe, enjoyable environment for all of our guests who want to start a new season with a little color in their lives.”

Limited tickets are currently available at $45; prices will increase leading up to the event. The price includes food, two cocktails, unlimited colored powder, and the best South Asian entertainment. For more information about the event and to order tickets, log on to www.ingroupevents.com.
