Grab a bite to eat and head to Plaza Arena for the evening
There’s a fresh reason to plan your evenings at Yas Bay waterfront this May.
The popular destination is hosting the weekly event ‘UAE in Harmony,’ a free live music series created in collaboration with Abu Dhabi City of Music, bringing an eclectic mix of sounds to the capital.
Taking place at Arena Plaza every Friday and Saturday from 8pm to 11pm, the event transforms the waterfront into an open-air stage filled with some of the best artists around.
You and your friends can expect a diverse lineup of performances that celebrate both regional talent and global influences, making each night feel a little different from the last.
Apart from the music, Yas Bay Waterfront is just as much about the full evening experience. The area is lined with a wide range of dining spots, so it’s easy to turn the visit into dinner and a show.

With a wide selection of international cuisines, waterfront terraces, and vibrant venues, it’s easy to begin with dinner, move on to the live performances, and continue the evening seamlessly without ever leaving the waterfront.
Following dinner, it’s an easy stroll over to Arena Plaza where the ‘UAE in Harmony’ performances take place. The walk itself adds to the atmosphere, with the waterfront setting creating a natural flow between food, music, and open-air views.
Adding to the experience, Yas Bay is also hosting Restaurant Week from 4–10 May, bringing special menus and dining offers across participating venues, making it an even better time to explore the area.
The layout of Yas Bay makes everything feel connected, with venues within walking distance and plenty of space to explore between sets. It works just as well for casual catch-ups, family outings, or a relaxed night out with friends.
