In a region where technology and Emirati identity define the future, the Mansour Festival is where the next generation connects with both. The highly successful event, created by Bidaya Media, is returning for its second, bigger edition at Yas Gateway Park North, Yas Island, from November 20 to 23. This four-day festival isn’t just a gathering; it’s a world-class cultural platform blending education, entertainment, and the inspiring vision of the popular Mansour Cartoon.
Building on the success of the inaugural year, the 2025 Mansour Festival is leaning heavily into the theme of innovation and technology, directly referencing the Mansour: Age of AI series. This addresses the growing trend of gamification and high-tech entertainment in the UAE.
The centerpiece of this futuristic focus is the Age of AI Inflatable Park North. This massive, thrilling attraction features 10 to 12 custom-designed inflatables celebrating the theme of artificial intelligence and offers active fun for all ages. Alongside this, the Science Stage brings learning to life through interactive science shows and engaging demonstrations, ensuring children nurture their curiosity and creativity. The overall aim, as stated by Imane Alsalem Tlamid, Acting CEO of Bidaya, is to further elevate the festival as a platform that combines education, entertainment, and innovation.
While the festival looks to the future, it remains deeply rooted in Emirati culture and positive family values. Dhabia’s World spotlights local heritage in a warm, welcoming setting, offering families a chance to reconnect with tradition. For those seeking an authentic desert experience, the Desert Riders zone offers camel and horse riding.
The Makers’ Workshops provide hands-on activities designed to nurture creativity among young visitors, while Mansour & Sara: World of Discovery invites children into imaginative, interactive adventures. This rich mix of activities is designed specifically to appeal to Emirati families and residents, and with a staggering 12,000 visitors per day anticipated, the sense of community and shared celebration will be palpable.
Each day at the Mansour Festival promises a grand finish that lights up the Yas Island sky. The festive atmosphere builds at the Main Stage with various live performances before the spectacle moves outside. Every evening will culminate in a breathtaking drone show, followed by dazzling fireworks displays. The grand scale of these shows highlights Abu Dhabi’s role in hosting world-class events that celebrate local identity and bring families together in a spirit of joy and creativity.
The Mansour Festival is an unmissable four-day adventure that perfectly bridges Emirati heritage with future innovation. Don’t miss this opportunity to create lasting family memories and celebrate Mansour as a true cultural icon.
