Two weeks of heritage, creativity and community are coming back to the heart of Abu Dhabi
Al Hosn Festival returns to Abu Dhabi from 15 to 30 January 2027, bringing the emirate’s heritage to life at Qasr Al Hosn.
The annual celebration explores Emirati traditions through food, hospitality, crafts, dress and cultural performances.
Visitors can wander through souks, discover local flavours and explore art exhibitions across the festival.
Children can get hands-on with workshops, while live musical and traditional performances bring the programme to life.
Interactive activations offer new ways to connect with Abu Dhabi’s past and present.
Set around the city’s treasured historic site, Al Hosn brings diverse communities together through shared experiences.
It’s a chance to discover the customs and creativity that continue to shape Abu Dhabi today.
And with more details still to come, January is already looking like a good time to return to Al Hosn.
