Holi weekend deserves more than one dance floor — it deserves movement, views, and energy that lasts all night.
This boat party is built for groups, mixed crowds, and anyone looking to celebrate Holi in a social, high-energy setting. Expect colorful moments on deck, packed dance floors indoors, and a lively crowd cruising through Vancouver’s waterfront after sunset.
It’s a night where music travels across levels, colors light up the rooftop, and the city becomes part of the celebration.
