National Day Celebrations

Every year December is marked by the celebrations of National Day, as nationals and expats explore the many different events that take place around the country to mark this special day.

In addition to the adornment of red and white colors on buildings, numerous flags in the streets and car parades, there are a number of cultural and historical events that also take place around the country that showcase the pride and unity of the country.

These shows include stunning fireworks displays, which are well loved by all, and can be viewed from multiple locations in the country. There is also very popular Aerobatics Air Show which lights up the sky. In addition to all of this, Bahrain’s National Day is also celebrated across the country in schools, malls, parks and other venues, with children’s games, traditional song and dances and parades.

This year, a very special program will also be taking place, organized by the Bahrain Authority for culture and Antiquities, which will celebrate national day and the 29th anniversary of the Bahrain National Museum. The Manama Doesn’t Sleep celebration will take place at the Museum and will include an exciting 12-hour program of music dance shows, literary talks, fine art exhibits and more.
