What is Holi?

Holi, also known as the “Festival of Colours,” is a popular and joyous spring festival. Originally an ancient Hindu religious festival, Holi is celebrated across India, South Asia, and worldwide. The festival marks the end of winter and the start of the spring season with hopes for an abundant harvest. It also signifies the victory of good over evil, love, happiness, and forgiveness.

Every year, Holi is observed on the full moon day of the Phalguna (also known as Falgun) month in the Hindu calendar. This year, Holi is celebrated on March 14.

No matter when or where, UP Express operates every 15 minutes between Union Station in Downtown Toronto and Toronto Pearson International Airport, making it the best way to get to your Holi celebrations.
