Abu Dhabi’s cultural calendar is already looking ahead to 2027, with one of the capital’s most anticipated heritage celebrations set to return in the new year.
Al Hosn Festival will take place from 15 – 30 January, inviting visitors to experience Emirati traditions and understand the stories that have helped shape the UAE.
Discover the Story Behind Abu Dhabi
Held at the historic Qasr Al Hosn, the festival offers a lively way to explore the emirate’s heritage, and rather than simply looking back at the past, it brings elements of traditional Emirati life into a contemporary festival setting, offering captivating insight.
Visitors can expect a varied programme spanning cultural experiences, traditional crafts, performances, local cuisine, and entertainment, with plenty to explore across the festival grounds.
There will be a chance to discover handmade crafts and sample flavours inspired by Emirati culinary traditions, whilst live entertainment adds to the energetic atmosphere.
A Family-friendly Day Out
Families can make the most of the festival with activities designed to introduce younger visitors to aspects of the UAE’s culture in an interactive way, keeping them entertained throughout.
Allowing mums, dads, and little ones to combine entertainment with a touch of cultural discovery in the cooler January weather, it’s a winter event that brings the whole community together.
At its essence, Al Hosn Festival celebrates the heritage and identity of Abu Dhabi, connecting the city’s modern-day community with traditions that remain an important part of its character.
Details regarding ticket sales and the wider programme have not yet been announced, but be sure to mark your calendar now, as January is set to bring another vibrant celebration of Abu Dhabi’s past, present and future right to the heart of the capital.
