The Mother of the Nation Festival, which celebrates values and contributions of Shaikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairperson of the General Women's Union, President of the Family Development Foundation, and Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, will begin tomorrow in the UAE Capital.
The 10-day long festival is expected to draw a whopping crowd of more than 200,000 people from across the country.
However, this year marks a special edition of the festival, as it will join the nation in commemorating the 'Year of Zayed' to celebrate the legacy of a beloved leader who championed a more inclusive and empowering role for women in Emirati society.
As part of the Year of Zayed celebrations, a special performance involving 500 airborne drones will be presented on the final day of the Mother of the Nation Festival.
With last year's event having welcomed more than 197,000 people, this year's edition is once again set to see a record number of visitors.
Mohammed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman, Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi (DCTA), said: "Mother of the Nation is the biggest festival in Abu Dhabi and plays an invaluable role in showcasing the Capital as a destination of distinction.
"By embodying Sheikha Fatima's inspirational values of empowerment, conservation, collaboration and sustainability, the festival aims to promote the themes of tolerance, collaboration and camaraderie within families and across the UAE community."
Saif Saeed Ghobash, director-general of DCTA, said: "It is with immense pleasure that we invite the citizens of Abu Dhabi, visitors and tourists alike, to join us for the Mother of the Nation Festival, a true celebration of Her Highness's vision for our society and for women in our nation."
