Home Cultural Programmes Sheikh Zayed Festival
The horizons of culture are ever-expanding, its paths are diversifying, and the need for its presence is increasing as a way for peoples to come together within a framework of tolerance, brotherhood and peace.
The Sheikh Zayed Festival in Abu Dhabi comes within this framework, employing all its noble values, striving and aspiring towards common human development.
The Sheikh Zayed Festival is one of the most important cultural and entertainment events in the country, carrying with it, and in it, all the lofty values for which the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul, achieved - an integral part of his efforts to preserve the civilizational and cultural heritage of the Emirates and to consolidate national heritage and culture.
The Festival is held under the distinguished patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and the wise guidance of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court.
