Embracing Diversity, Celebrating Unity
On the 24th of March, Cambourne came alive with a riot of colours as the Festival of Colours, Holi, unfolded for the eighth consecutive year. This vibrant celebration, orchestrated by the local charity CamCare UK, marked not just a festival but a powerful expression of unity, diversity, and community spirit. The free and family-friendly event welcomed over 2000 people from the Cambridgeshire region, creating a kaleidoscope of joy and togetherness.
