The crowd is going to be bigger than ever.
For 2017, the organizers are expected even more people to take part in the celebration. “This is the fifth year that Asia Society Philippines has hosted the HOLI FESTIVAL in Manila, and every year it gets bigger and bigger—starting from a crowd of hundreds in 2012 to thousands last year,” ClickTheCity reported Asia Society Philippines executive director Suyin Lee as saying.
Asia Society is an organization that aims to have greater understanding and respect between people in Asia and the West. For Lee, the upcoming festival is a chance to strengthen the ties between two communities. She explained, ” The HOLI FESTIVAL gives the two communities a chance to come together not just to dance and celebrate, but also to learn more about each other.”
