The festival features a wide array of activities catering to all family members. Children can participate in creative workshops, such as drawing, painting, and printmaking, which foster their imagination and connect them to Bahrain’s culture. Adults can enjoy art exhibitions, design shows highlighting both heritage and contemporary art, markets offering diverse products, cultural seminars, and musical evenings featuring Bahraini and international performances.
The culinary aspect of the festival includes an integrated dining experience, with multiple food stations along the path offering a selection of authentic Bahraini dishes and international cuisine with modern twists. These stations are designed to provide a distinctive gastronomic experience, making food a central element of the festival.
