Myanmar Color Festival at People’s Square and Park (Saturday)
The first ever Myanmar Color Festival, held to celebrate diversity in Myanmar promises ‘mesmerising plumes of powder’ (in honor of Holi) on a ‘euphoric day of music and dance’. Sounds good to us. Entrance is K10,000, but includes powder paint to throw.
People’s Square and Park. From 3:30pm until 8:30pm.

Headlined by Bangkok’s DJ Knatz, who blends electro and 90s hip-hop, this party on top of Yangon International Hotel looks pretty legit. Get in the mood with his frankly awesome mixes here. The Biebs and TLC’s Unpretty? Yes.
Yangon International Hotel, 8:30pm onwards.
