Thousands of revelers gathered to celebrate the arrival of spring at the Holi Festival of Colors at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork on Saturday. In India, Holi announces the arrival of spring.

The Holi Fest in Utah is a modern adaptation of the traditional Indian celebration, where colored powder is used instead of liquid color. The festival featured live music, yoga, dancing, food and the throwing of colors. The festival continues Sunday from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm
