Exploding pigments are just a gimmick – Life in Color is broadly action-packed, providing hours of entertainment before the gyrating throngs get truly soaked in sticky paste.
Tickets for the vivaciously messy 2014 Holi One festival are on sale. Organizers announced Monday that passes are available for ₡23,000 ($46) on www.specialticket.com.
“This is so crazy!” exclaimed one concertgoer, a couple of hours after the sun had set. It was Saturday evening, the Life in Color concert was in full swing, and truly, it was a little crazy: Ten thousand people, mostly young and Tico, writhed and gyrated in a giant mass.
If you’ve never heard of “the world’s largest paint party,” imagine a regular old gigantic concert that also involves blasting colored paint out of a hose.
