The Festival of Health will be taking place at Al Jahili Park between 26-28 December 2025, with the primary goal to change the green space into a vibrant hub of wellness, movement, and community energy.
The festival invites residents and visitors of all ages to step outside, get active, and explore simple ways to live healthier. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a parent planning a family day out, or simply curious about well-being, it’s worth exploring.
What Is the Festival of Health?
Organised by the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC) in collaboration with the Department of Health, this festival is a large-scale community event designed to make healthy living accessible, engaging, and enjoyable.
The festival forms part of Abu Dhabi’s broader Healthy Living Strategy, aiming to encourage people to make better everyday choices and to use every opportunity to strive for a healthier approach to life.
What You Can Expect at Al Jahili Park
For three days, Al Jahili Park will become a wellness playground filled with activity zones, interactive installations, and hands-on experiences. There will be open lawns buzzing with energy, shaded areas dedicated to calm and recovery, and plenty of opportunities to learn something new.
Al Ain’s edition of the event is offering something for every age group and fitness level. Entry is free, and most activities are designed to be drop-in friendly.
The Four Pillars of Wellbeing
The Festival of Health is built around four essential pillars that support a balanced lifestyle:
- Movement
From group fitness sessions and interactive challenges to playful activities for kids, the movement zones encourage everyone to get active in ways that feel natural and enjoyable. - Nutrition
Discover simple, realistic approaches to healthier eating through live demonstrations, tastings, and interactive nutrition workshops led by experts. - Sleep
Dedicated spaces focus on rest and recovery, offering calming experiences, relaxation techniques, and insights into improving sleep quality. - Mental Well-Being
Mindfulness activities, reflection corners, and stress-relief sessions create space to slow down, reset, and prioritise mental health.
A Festival for the Whole Community
From children discovering movement through play to adults learning practical wellness tips, the festival is designed to motivate all. One of the standout features is the City Moov Challenge, a fun digital experience that motivates you to stay active and engaged beyond the festival grounds.
If you’re looking for a refreshing alternative to the usual weekend plans, the Festival of Health at Al Jahili Park offers the perfect mix of fresh air, fun activities, and meaningful experiences.
