Ryan Cavender, identified in the video as the city’s recreation manager, invited residents to Moss Rock Preserve and highlighted outdoor programming. “It’s a wonderful time to be outside,” he said in the city segment. Cavender’s remarks accompanied the announcement that registration is open for summer sports camps at the Hoover MET; the video did not specify camp session dates or fees.

The city also announced Household Hazardous Waste Day on April 5 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Hoover Public Safety Building. Kelly Peoples, the city’s events manager, promoted the 20th annual Celebrate Hoover Day scheduled for Saturday, April 26, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Veterans Park and urged residents to mark their calendars.

A new Immerse Yoga Series at the Randall House was also advertised as running weekly on Mondays through May; the city video said the series will begin in April but did not provide an exact start date. The city advised residents to visit hooveralabama.gov for registration, newsletters and details from parks and recreation and other departments.

The video closed by reminding residents of the city council’s biweekly meetings on the first and third Mondays at 6 p.m., where community members can follow city business and upcoming programming. No funding amounts, registration deadlines beyond those stated, or required approvals were provided in the segment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Community Kaleidoscope Episode 2","oneSentenceSummary","City of Hoover announced open registration for summer sports camps at Hoover MET, a household hazardous-waste day on April 5, a new weekly Immerse Yoga Series and the 20th annual Celebrate Hoover Day on April 26.","taxTitle","Hoover City, Shelby County, Alabama","taxId",4364,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6091644,"Hoover holds first Holi celebration at Veterans Park, organizers say community embraced event",124,67000,191000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2859573-37d1358153852c8c730ed3c08dfddebf&start=67&end=191","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2859573-37d1358153852c8c730ed3c08dfddebf/thumbnail_67000.jpg","/articles/6091644/Hoover-City/Shelby-County/Alabama/Hoover-holds-first-Holi-celebration-at-Veterans-Park-organizers-say-community-embraced-event","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6091644-33c3467e1dfde9ce160f9ee5f91d4c20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176688&Signature=ex5KHxHkT9eEk4NwtxpeW-iwhAu2CU2koEO2qIWefwQMutPYDaRi47fsNUDoyA79Am2ukqKmQpB8N9~JER7hVuIl86VvvuEb1D6w-SQxqnJuT9x2~CB~2uhFWyXjkhWBkYKwstCRsgoorsjtefQZFkc72YupKy4BjsXBzB~MUqPiGKe6-cwtmt537-asI5PNQibOOMWihhS6NKCPVxTia8jiG7GVL7ZDNGTTvMS1z6rQCX5VrsA1bWn0vPyls201gemH23thCXbXAe2MWMdcKPIdA~Jg3694noB-vY8NDxgYnKtx~TYAGbXXv4GtbUqCHkuSeAih~zKn81weDxSTZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hoover hosted its first Holi celebration at Veterans Park this year, organizers said, bringing families, volunteers and community partners together for a spring event centered on colored powders, music and cultural exchange.

Organizers said the event was intended to fill a gap in the city’s cultural programming and to give children a chance to learn about Holi, the Hindu spring festival of colors. Astha Shastri, an event organizer described in city materials as a Hoover Ahead ambassador and a paraprofessional for Hoover City Schools, said she created the event after seeing similar multicultural activities at schools and wanting a shared community celebration.

City presenters and organizers described enthusiastic turnout and broad support. “Everyone was so excited, and they supported. They all came in. They all had so much fun,” an organizer said on the city’s recorded segment. Organizers said the event included color play and music and that volunteers and a planning committee worked to stage the celebration.

A city presenter summarized the event’s intent: “Like the colors of Holi, our community is brightest when we come together,” the presenter said in the video segment.

Organizers noted early interest in repeating the event. A planner recounted that at least one couple asked about next year’s date, which organizers described as a main highlight. City materials did not specify an exact date for a 2026 event.

The city promoted the Holi segment as part of its Community Collectors video series, which highlights local events and cultural stories. No city action items, funding amounts or formal approvals for the event were mentioned in the recorded segment.","Organizers and city presenters said Hoover’s inaugural Holi celebration at Veterans Park drew families, volunteers and community partners and is expected to return next year.","actionData","errors"]
