The vibrant Hatta Festival 2025 is now underway, offering families and visitors a remarkable fusion of cultural, recreational, and community activities. Spanning until December 28 at the picturesque Leem Lake waterfront, the festival showcases Hatta's breathtaking mountains alongside an array of engaging pursuits suitable for all ages.

As part of the #DubaiDestinations initiative, this year’s event highlights Hatta’s rich natural and cultural legacy, promising an enjoyable experience for everyone. The focus on inclusivity and diversity ensures a multitude of events that educate, entertain, and inspire all attendees.

Festival-goers can partake in over 150 creative workshops, ranging from interactive arts and crafts to star photography sessions. Additionally, they can delve into Hatta’s traditional lifestyle through farm tours and outdoor culinary experiences. The event also features a mini zoo where children can engage with gentle animals like ponies, gazelles, parrots, goats, and rabbits in a friendly, safe setting.

Entertainment zones are particularly enticing, with giant board games, a Winter Games Zone offering bungee jumping, bumper cars, and a human crane challenge, as well as a Hatta-themed Escape Room that combines teamwork with local heritage. Evening visitors can marvel at the luminous art installations adorning the bridges over Leem Lake, creating a dreamlike ambiance that highlights the area's natural beauty.

The Proudly from Dubai initiative spotlights local entrepreneurs, with 30 businesses—half from Hatta—showcasing a variety of food, desserts, and unique products. The festival also promotes a Young Entrepreneurs Competition, fostering local talent and encouraging sustainable economic development in the area.

An immersive experience wouldn't be complete without the Brand Dubai Store and Camelicious-sponsored Majlis, offering souvenirs and an authentic Emirati space for relaxation and socializing. On the Main Stage, over 100 live performances and TV episodes from Dubai Media's Sama Dubai TV provide entertainment, blending cultural highlights with family-friendly shows.

Combining adventure, culture, and community spirit, Hatta Festival 2025 cements its place as an essential destination for families and visitors in search of an unforgettable outdoor retreat.
