Go Mad with Mukka 2019
Celebrate Holi by getting covered in colours, drinking chai and downing dosas.
Overview
Coburg will be a flurry of colour when Fitzroy's Mukka throws a party in honour of Holi on Sunday, May 5. To celebrate the festival of colours, the eatery will bring a warehouse in Coburg to life as part of a raucous party.
You'll start off with a cup of chai and some Indian sweets while you listen to music from classical Indian instruments, such as the sitar and the tabla. When everyone's warmed up, the party starts.
To fully partake in Holi, you have to get messy. Grab gulal (that is, the herbal powder in a range of bright colours) and go crazy. Expect to see pinks and blues and yellows flying through the air that will, in turn, paint the space, you and everyone else. To top it off, Mukka will be serving its samosas and dosas throughout the afternoon.
The party is a way for Mukka's owners, Prateek and Aditya Dhawan, to celebrate their culture and the holiday in Australia. It's a great way to get involved in Holi, whether you've grown up celebrating it or have never had the chance to.
