The sixth edition of this annual national festival will launch on November 15 and continue until November 17, 2025, spanning three days. It is a national occasion celebrating the International Day for Tolerance, promoting the values of tolerance, coexistence, and human fraternity, and encouraging inclusion and joint efforts to boost the cultural movement in the UAE. This, in turn, strengthens national identity and reflects our pride in Zayed’s legacy.
The festival is held in cooperation with numerous federal, local, and private entities, with active participation from executive councils across all emirates. It includes a wide range of community, artistic, and educational activities and events aimed at raising awareness about the importance of tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and acceptance of others.
This edition, taking place in the coming November, comes as a reflection of the declaration made by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, naming 2025 as the “Year of the Society”. The festival will open its doors to various organizations to present programs and activities targeting all segments of society, taking place in multiple locations across the country, particularly in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It will also include community, artistic, and humanitarian initiatives that reflect the UAE’s noble values and promote peaceful coexistence and human fraternity.
On the occasion of the Year of the Society, this edition will involve the active participation of all segments of society, under the theme “Our Society Follows Zayed’s Path.” This theme conveys the festival’s message of celebrating the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (may his soul rest in peace), who laid the foundations for a tolerant and cohesive society embracing people of all nationalities.
