First-of-its-Kind arts and flowers festival brings unique offerings to Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi: The Arts and Flowers Festival, part of the Sheikh Zayed Festival in Al Wathba, is a must-see event.

Running until January 19, the festival introduces several unique activities for the first time in the UAE, including an attempt to create the world’s largest floral arrangement. Thousands of visitors will join hands in assembling and arranging flowers for this record-breaking project.

Additionally, the festival features the “Al Wathba Mural”, a collaborative art initiative where a group of artists will work together to produce a painting that embodies the heritage and culture of the UAE. This mural will narrate “The Story of Al Wathba” through the medium of sand painting.

The Arts and Flowers Festival highlights the UAE’s core values and its humanitarian vision, fostering innovation and promoting cultural diversity. The event serves as a significant platform to emphasize the UAE’s growing status as a center for cultural and artistic expression. By using art to foster cross-cultural dialogue, the festival aims to inspire a brighter future, spotlight Emirati talent, and encourage community engagement through hands-on activities that support emerging artists and sustainable agricultural practices.
