Abu Dhabi is set to host the most enchanting holiday event of the season with the Yas Winter Fest, promising residents and visitors an unforgettable experience filled with festive joy. The capital’s grandest winter celebration will take place over five days, transforming Gateway Park South on Yas Island into a snowy paradise from December 6th to 10th.

Each night, the sky will light up with a spectacular fireworks display at 9 pm, following the grand tree lighting ceremony at 6:30 pm, which is guaranteed to ignite the festive spirit in everyone. The daily snowfall, Christmas trees, and a mega ice-like slide will provide endless fun for families and friends looking to frolic in the snow zones.
For those who love the magic of Christmas, the North Pole Zone is a must-visit. Here, attendees can write letters to Santa, capture their best festive moments with photo opportunities, and even participate in hands-on activities at Santa’s workshop, including ornament decorating and gingerbread house crafting.
Music and performances will be a cornerstone of the festival, with the Festive Stage featuring bands, Christmas carol sing-alongs, school choirs, and more. Adding to the excitement, jugglers, magicians, and a special appearance by Santa Claus himself will keep the holiday cheer alive throughout the event.
