“Portland’s beloved TROPITAAL! party celebrates its 13th anniversary.” Resident Advisor 5/9/26

“DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid aren’t exactly under-the-radar among clubgoers ‘round these parts, and there’s a good reason for that. The duo—who first formed for a New Year’s Eve party 25 years ago—rattle windows with Desi bass, reggaeton, and darkwave chillers like nooooobody else in town.” Portland Mercury 12/26/25

“Your Quintessential Portland Bucket List: 50 Things to Do in Town. These are our city’s can’t-miss activities, whether you’ve lived here all your life or are just passing through. -Don’t Miss Inimitable DJ duo Aniali and the Incredible Kid’s “Tropitaal” parties, serving up a high-energy mix of Indian and Latin American sounds.” Portland Monthly 10/27/25 

“Portland electronic music luminary DJ Anjali” Willamette Week 8/27/24

“For seven years now, DJ Anjali & The Kid have been commandeering the Tropitaal Desi-Latino Soundclash to the delight of knowing Portland audiences.” Portland Mercury 5/16/2020

“DJ Anjali & The Kid have been a staple of Portland, Oregon’s club scene for almost two decades, creating spaces for DJs and dancers to enjoy an international mélange of music ranging from bhangra to reggaeton.” Remezcla 12/26/18

DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid’s Holi Summer Fest

A Celebration of Color 

At McMenamins Grand Lodge
3505 Pacific Ave, Forest Grove, Ore. 97116

Sunday, June 28th

3:30-7:30PM

All Ages

Tickets go on sale Friday May 22nd at 10AM.
{Pre sale tickets Thursday May 21st at 10AM w/ MCMENAMINS code}

HOLI HAI! After four sold-out Holi Festivals Anjali & The Kid bring their color throw experience to Forest Grove for their biggest Holi yet featuring all organic colors handmade by farmers and tribal communities in India. A Bollywood and Bhangra dance party in the grass with Anjali’s Gulabi Gang dance troupe and the PDX Bhangra troupe.

 Color throws at 4:30, 5:30 & 6:30PM. 

Note that the actual date of Holi occurs in March, but in the Pacific Northwest celebrations of the festival are often pushed back as far as June to take advantage of better weather and dancing in the grass.

This event features only-organic powder, direct from India, made from flowers, seeds and vegetables (like rose, spinach, marigold and turmeric.) Each paid entrance includes a packet of colors and a portion of the festival proceeds will benefit farmers in India. Other Holi festivals typically feature industrial dyes containing carcinogens; this event is committed to returning to plant-based powder which honors our connection to the earth.

Everyone is welcome at this all-ages event.

Expect to get messy as Holi is celebrated by throwing bright colored powder on each other. Wearing white or old clothes is recommended.

No outside colors are allowed.
Each ticket holder will receive one packet of complimentary powder.

All sales final, no refunds or exchange.
