SOUTH AFRICA’S FAVORITE COLOR FESTIVAL VENTURES TO CARNIVAL CITY


Color in The Sun, inspired by the traditional Holi color festival in India, ventures to Carnival City on 16 December 2016, National Reconciliation Day. Color in the Sun will bring together thousands of color-crazy revelers for an afternoon of spectacular entertainment, sets by well known DJs and tons of powder infused fun.


Confirmed artists and DJs include Dj Zan D, Infinite Boys, Major League Dj's, Dimplez, Sterra on Percussion, Shorts Da Deejay, and Morgan Beat Box. More featured artists will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Celebrate National Reconciliation Day with awesome music, a super charged vibe and loads of color. Laugh, dance and play the day away in the spirit of togetherness for which this international festival is renowned,” says Michelle Smith, the Marketing Manager at Carnival City.  

Color in the Sun is a premier color festival promoting unity and equality while celebrating youth, togetherness and fun. This festival derives from an ancient Hindu festival celebrating springtime, love and, of course, colors. It has recently spread from its origins in India and Nepal to parts of Europe as a non-religious day to reflect equality and togetherness. Against a festive backdrop of song and dance participants play, chase and color each other with bright, dry powders. 

 All colors consist of corn starch and an aromatic substance. The colorants differentiate per color. Aromatic substances include lavender, lavender oil, sage, dill, 2-undecanone, chamomile, rosemary, rosemary oil and acetic acid. The colors are red, green, pink, orange, blue and yellow.
