The 11th season of the annual event will be held across three days from December 2, commemorating the 51st UAE National Day, said ISC president D. Natarajan.
“The UAE-India Fest is the biggest community festival held annually in the capital city. The event showcases the rich Indian tradition, culture, heritage and culinary,” he said during a press conference.
The fest couldn’t be held since 2019 because of Covid-19 pandemic situation and now organisers are going an extra mile to make this edition an exceptional one.

“There will be a 20-minute special performance by artists based here in the UAE. There will be several other activities.”
