The Farjan Dubai Foundation is organising a series of community and heritage activities in celebration of the 54th Eid Al Etihad (Union Day) as part of Dubai’s National Month campaign. The events will take place from 1st to 7th December in the neighbourhoods of Al Khawaneej and Jumeirah, showcasing deep-rooted national values and the spirit of unity among the people of the UAE.

This initiative comes within Farjan Dubai’s vision to strengthen national identity and celebrate national occasions right in the heart of residential communities, giving all members of society the opportunity to participate in the festive experience and turning neighbourhoods into interactive hubs filled with authentic Emirati spirit.

The celebrations, held under the patronage of the Dubai Community Development Authority and du, and in partnership with Dubai Cares’ community contributions Establishment - JOOD, Service Al Amin, and Dubai Holding,  will include a rich mix of activities such as:

• Cultural and heritage performances
• Workshops
• Interactive competitions
• Local markets
• Broad participation by Emirati talents, creative initiatives, and art & craft projects
• A variety of local restaurants offering traditional cuisine

These events aim to deliver a comprehensive experience that reflects the richness and diversity of Emirati heritage.

Alia Al Shamlan, CEO of Farjan Dubai, said:

“We are proud to be part of the Union Day celebrations — an occasion that unites us in love for our country and strengthens the sense of belonging among both citizens and residents.”

She added that the festivities are taking place in two locations — Al Khawaneej and Jumeirah — so that each community can express its own unique spirit of unity and celebrate both desert and sea heritage. This choice also aims to allow as many Dubai residents as possible to join in the joy and festivities.

Farjan Dubai expects more than 90,000 attendees this year. A total of 25 diverse workshops, 50 entertainment shows and competitions, participation by more than 20 restaurants, and 16 market stalls are planned as part of the celebration programme
