A total of 25 public and private entities in Sharjah will be participating in the event which will be held from 4 pm-11 pm on Friday and 2 pm-10 pm on Saturday.

Under the slogan, #See_Sharjah, the two-day event is free to attend and targets all members of the UAE community. The diverse programming agenda will feature entertainment, folk shows, music, sports, art and craft, and competitions, and other events.

The first day of the festival will witness the unveiling of Sharjah’s 2022 calendar of events and celebrations.

Through this first-of-its-kind festival, we will unveil Sharjah’s cultural agenda for 2022, and at the same time, offer attendees a variety of family-friendly activities suitable for all segments of the community.”

“The festival also aims to provide networking and collaboration opportunities for participating entities along with a vibrant platform to showcase their work and activities to the community. Moreover, they will be able to connect and strengthen their relationships with the public in a fun-filled environment,” Saeed Allay said.
