The BiH Color Festival is an electronic music festival held annually in Brčko, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1][2] Its concept is based on the Indian and Nepali spring festival Holi ( /ˈhoʊliː/; Sanskrit: होली Holī).[3] Festival attendees cover themselves in washable natural plant-derived colors such as turmeric, neem, dhak, and kumkum. A further one thousand kilograms of dry paint is shot over the crowd during the festival.[4][5] It was established in 2016 and is held in July or August.[6][7] It exclusively showcases unsigned and underground artists from the Former Yugoslavia.[8]
