Whisk away to the Japanese capital
Word on the street is that Abu Dhabi’s favourite family-friendly festival is back — and it’s bringing a taste of Tokyo to the capital. The Rage returns with a brand-new theme: We Meet in Tokyo. From 7 to 11 January, Umm Al Emarat Park will transform into a vibrant hub of culture, craft, creation, and community.
For years, The Rage Festival has been one of Abu Dhabi’s go-to weekend escapes. Last year’s edition at Al Maryah Island’s South Plaza drew thousands of visitors, and this year promises to be just as spectacular. From interactive installations and workshops to live performances, there is something for everyone — whether you’re a foodie, art enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique outing with family and friends.
