A highlight of the celebrations will be the grand theatrical operetta 'Hawa Emarati' performed from December 1 to 3 on the park's main stage. Featuring more than 40 artists, the operetta will take audiences on a journey through nine stunning scenes, depicting an Emirati wedding against the backdrop of the UAE’s formation in 1971. Showcasing traditional costumes, songs, and dances with a fresh creative perspective, the performances will be held twice daily at 7.05pm and 9.40pm.
Guests can also enjoy live performances by Emirati bands such as Liwa and Harbiyah, adding a rhythmic cultural flair to the celebrations across the park.
Global Village will also offer exclusive shopping opportunities, including unique National Day souvenirs at pavilions like the UAE Pavilion, the 971 Pavilion, and the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation Pavilion. The Heritage Village, operated by the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Centre, will display authentic Emirati handicrafts, allowing guests to connect with the nation’s cultural legacy.
Food lovers can also enjoy traditional Emirati cuisine at various kiosks, including fan favourites like luqaimat and Regag bread.
