Can Holi fall on a different day for your community?

Yes. A government list only sets days off for central offices, and religious practice does not follow it. Many Hindu calendars (panchang) and communities may mark Holi on a different day, often a day earlier. Check with your temple or community before you plan. This story does not give a panchang date.
