Plumes of coloured powder, the sound of laughter and big bright beautiful smiles are lighting up Mount Maunganui this afternoon.
There's still time to get in on the action that is the 2017 Colour Splash which is delighting the crowd at Coronation Park until 4pm. Entry is free, you just need to pay for your colour powder.
The event, which has its roots in traditional Indian culture, features DJ music, live dance performances from Bay of Plenty Performing Arts and Mount Dance, and fun games to win free dye packages.

'The Colour Splash is a great opportunity for family, friends, neighbours, competitors and lovers to celebrate new lease of life, says Organiser Dhruva Reid.
'True to the tradition of Holi, Colour Splash brings smiles, laughter, music, food and lots of bright colour. [It's] an electric celebration of Holi. Colour throwing, music, food and way too much fun!”
It's best you wear old white clothing as this will show the most dramatic colour and in case not all of the colour washes out.
