Bahrain National Day
Here is a little bit about Bahrain National Day. On August 15, 1971, Bahrain won its independence from the British. However, the country celebrates its national day on 16th December as it is the day the former ruler Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa ascended to the throne. National day is celebrated with great zeal, fervor, pride, and enthusiasm.
In honour of Bahrain’s National Day, every year Bahrain International Circuit will host a spectacular display of colourful fireworks for you and your family to enjoy on National Day. The event will take place on December 16, 2022
Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority organizes this most spectacular festival at the Bahrain International Circuit. The event will take place between December 25 and January 18, from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 4 p.m. to 12 p.m. on weekends. With over forty-five live performances, an outdoor ice rink, daily live events, and more, Bahrain Festival City will have enough of fun and excitement for everyone to enjoy.
Bahrain National Day will be celebrated at Mall of Dilmunia with live performances, activities, and live cooking as well as holiday-themed décor across the shopping center. Enjoy traditional foods like Khanfaroush, Lugaimat, Sambosa, and Kababs as well as a variety of activities including Saaf making, oyster splitting, fire displays, Bahrain aquarium, Leywa Band, and much more as you start with the musical dancing fountain shows with their bright colors. The festival will run from 5:30 to 10 p.m. from December 16 to December 18, 2022.
