Welcome to Heidelberg Holi 2025, a celebration that brings the spirit of Holi—the vibrant Indian festival of colors—to the heart of Heidelberg. Since 2020, Heidelberg Holi has grown into a beloved tradition, uniting people from diverse backgrounds through the universal language of joy, color, and community.

Over the past three years, we have welcomed hundreds of attendees who have joined us to embrace the festival’s message of unity, inclusion, and diversity. Each year, the event has grown in scale and significance, becoming a highlight of Heidelberg's cultural calendar.

This year, Heidelberg Holi 2025 is especially meaningful. For the first time, the event is part of the International Week Against Racism, supported by the Intercultural Center Heidelberg. It is not just a celebration but also a platform to promote equality and stand against racism, making it a day to remember.

Hosted at the renowned Völkerkundemuseum Heidelberg, known for its rich collection of art and culture from Asia, Africa, and Oceania, this year’s Holi offers an even more vibrant and meaningful experience. The museum provides a perfect setting to reflect the spirit of Holi while celebrating cultural diversity.

What to Expect:

• Color Play: Immerse yourself in the joy of unlimited play with vibrant, safe, and eco-friendly colors, bringing a burst of happiness to the day.

• Engaging Activities: Start the day with exciting interactive games, followed by cultural performances that bridge traditions and modernity.

• Delicious Indian Cuisine: Savor a freshly prepared Indian lunch featuring authentic flavors to complete the festive experience.

• Live Music & DJ: Enjoy live music and dance to the high-energy beats of a professional DJ, creating a lively and unforgettable atmosphere.

Why Heidelberg Holi?

Holi is a festival that transcends boundaries, symbolizing love, harmony, and the joy of being together. By being part of this event, you’re not only experiencing a colorful celebration but also contributing to a meaningful cause: creating awareness and taking a stand against racism.

Join us in making Heidelberg Holi 2025 a day to remember—a day of togetherness, laughter, and purpose.

Die Rollen sind klar verteilt: Hier das jüdische Mädchen, „in Sehnsucht eingehüllt“, weil ihm zuerst die jugendliche Unbeschwertheit und dann das Leben genommen werden. Dort der junge Mann, der tagtäglich Menschen hinrichtet und dessen „Sehnsucht wächst und wächst“ nach den Lieben zuhause. Das gleiche Empfinden kann unterschiedlicher nicht sein. Sind es solche Abgründe, die das Böse banal erscheinen lassen?
