YORKTON – The Yorkton Business Improvement District held their third installment of June Days on Thursday night.

Keeping in step with with past events, this week focused on Indian culture with an emphasis on Holi.

"Holi is a popular ancient Hindu festival, also known as the Festival of Spring, the Festival of Colours or the Festival of Love," noted Wikipedia, adding, "it is predominantly celebrated in the Indian subcontinent but has also spread to other regions of Asia and parts of the Western world through the South Asian diaspora."

Indian food, music, activities and celebrations were available for people to enjoy and partake in.
