  • Join us at the FREE festival for a day of fun, food, and festivities that everyone will love.

    That’s right, the Festival portion of this event is open to the public for everyone to enjoy for free.

  • The route will go counter clockwise along the Kitsuksis Trail Dyke. It’s 2.5km long. Six colour stations along the route to entertain you and turn you into a rainbow of colours!

  • Please arrive at Blair Park before 10:30 am to check-in and receive your package full of goodies.

  • Parking at Blair Park is limited. Additional parking is available at Stirling Park.

  • Rest assured, our colour powders are crafted with food and cosmetic grade ingredients, ensuring they are safe for both you and the environment. Our supplier meticulously sources and tests these ingredients to meet the highest standards of safety and quality.

    If you get a small amount in your eyes, simply flush with water. Or better yet, wear the funky sunglasses you'll find in your goody bag.

    Inhaling a small amount of color powder dust will result in colorful boogers, but isn’t harmful.

  • Cleaning is as easy as brushing or blowing off a majority of the colour powder, then a little soap and water will take care of the rest.

    Cleaning off your skin and hair is similar to dusting off dry dirt. Most of it can be removed by shaking and dusting yourself off. The remaining will go away with a bath or shower. 

    Most clothing can be washed as normal without staining. If staining occurs on white clothing, it can be cleaned with laundry whitener.
