Thanks to your support over the years, on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at 9pm , we will have our popular nightclub Holi experience.
At Neon Holi, the Festival of Colors in Seattle we celebrate the coming of spring, the joy of friendship, and equality for all. All nationalities and ethnicities are encouraged to participate!
The Nightclub Holi portion of Jai Ho! Dance Party is a creation of our founder DJ Prashant who first experimented with bringing color powder inside the Chop Suey nightclub in March 2011 in Capitol Hill. Every year since then it has sold out in advance. Make sure to grab your tickets & come prepared to get bedazzled at the wildest most colorful party in town, complete with that Bollywood flair.

║Guidelines @ Every Jai Ho!║
Creating a safe & celebratory space is our number one priority at every event we host. And we would love for you to be an accomplice of mine by greeting & treating everyone like you would like to be treated. With equality, mutual respect, and a big smile.
We know this does not apply to you because you are awesome but for the other people to whom it may be relevant, we have zero tolerance for bigotry, racist remarks, and generally reckless behavior including but not limited to fighting, inappropriate touch, etc.
Anyone found engaging in such behavior will be thrown out at once & may never be able to attend our dance parties again.
If you see something, say something by bringing it to the attention of the venue staff or me directly.
