Milpitas celebrated the arrival of spring, the end of winter and the blossoming of love March 4 at the city's inaugural Holi Festival. Cardoza Park was a place to meet others to play and laugh, forget and forgive, and, of course, throw colored powder at each other during Rangwali Holi. It's no wonder the Holi Festival is also known as the Festival of Colors, and is one of the most popular and significant festivals in Hinduism. Mayor Carmen Montano commended Milpitas Recreation and Community Services for planning and organizing the celebration for the local community.
