MUST attend event if you like to have fun.
Though an indian festival, but enjoyed alike by non-Indians, asians, caucacians, etc.
Spray water, lots of water, on your friends; smear colored powder on your friends faces; enjoy non-stop music and latest hit songs (I think mainly from Bollywood) and dancing and bhangra.
There's also a kids corner especially for kids.
