UAE BARQ برق الإمارات – نبضك
The third edition of the Mother of the Nation Festival officially opened its doors on Thursday to crowds of guests who gathered from across the Emirate, eager to experience the exciting event packed with more than 100 workshops, performances and activities for the entire family to enjoy.
Organised by the Department of Tourism and Culture – Abu Dhabi, the festival will run for ten days until 31st March.
Paying tribute to the living legacy and progressive vision of the ‘Mother of the Nation’, H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, the event is a hub of high-quality entertainment for the entire family.
Located on Abu Dhabi Corniche, the festival is split into four distinct activation zones and a commemorative main pavilion, which will embody Sheikha Fatima’s inspirational values of empowerment, conservation, collaboration and sustainability, as well as the overarching themes of tolerance, collaboration, and camaraderie.
With last year’s event having welcomed more than 197,000 guests, this year’s edition is once again set to see a record number of visitors having achieved record number of visitors in its opening three days alone.
The four zones have something for everyone to enjoy; from hands-on workshops and interactive demonstrations to art exhibits and an impressive array of musical, entertainment and comedy performances.
The festival opens its doors daily from Sundays to Thursdays from 16:00 until midnight, and on weekends from 14:00 until midnight.
