Yas Bay Waterfront returns for its fourth edition

ABU DHABI/ GULF TIME

Yas Bay Waterfront is thrilled to announce the return of Waterfront Nights for its highly anticipated fourth edition. The event will
run from March 15 to April 1, 2025, welcoming guests daily from 8 PM to 2 AM.
Waterfront Nights promises an even bigger and livelier Ramadan pop-up market this year. The event, which is free to enter,
will feature 26 local retailers and food and beverage concepts. Notably, 23 of these brands are businesses supported by the
Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, a not-for-profit initiative by the Abu Dhabi Government to support SMEs. The fund
offers Emirati entrepreneurs and business owners access to markets, resources, mentorship, and funding.
In addition, the event will feature various free workshops and entertainment, including a live hakawati (traditional storyteller)
on stage who will engage the audience with his captivating traditional storytelling, as well as performances by Oud and Qanun
musicians. Families can also look forward to a dedicated kids’ corner and gaming areas, ensuring a fun experience for all
ages.
To mark the Eid holiday, Waterfront Nights will operate early from 4 PM to 10 PM, and everyone is invited to witness Yas Bay
Waterfront’s spectacular fireworks display.

Night Market
Showcasing local talent, Waterfront Nights is hosting 26 homegrown brands offering clothing, accessories, artwork, perfumes,
and various regional and international food.
Guests can shop the latest collection from Classy & Elegant Couture and find pop-culture items from Tebra, MZ Stickers, and
more. 90s Aoud and Woud will also showcase authentic oud and perfumes.

No night market is complete without an array of delicious food stalls. Guests can indulge in traditional Emirati dishes such as
luqaimat, khameer, and chebab from Rqaq House or savour Egyptian dishes such as koshari and mahshi from The Lions.
International snacks like ramen and slushies will also be available.
Meanwhile, shoppers can win exciting prizes in the raffle draw. One entry is given for every AED 100 spent, and winners will
be announced during Eid. Prizes include a Gold Yas Annual Pass and AED 1,000 worth of dining vouchers, valid at
participating outlets across Yas Bay Waterfront.
