Abu Dhabi:The third edition of the Mansour Festival is scheduled to take place from November 26 to 29 at Yas Gateway Park North in Abu Dhabi. This year, the festival will feature a wide range of entertainment activities and interactive experiences specifically designed for children and families. The event coincides with the UAE's Year of Family 2026.

According to Emirates News Agency, the festival is returning after a successful previous edition that attracted approximately 29,000 visitors. It offers a blend of entertainment, learning, and exploration opportunities, allowing children and their parents to interact with the beloved Emirati animated character Mansour and his friends.

The festival's activities are organized across seven interactive zones, each with its unique character. Visitors can explore "Mansour's House" to get closer to the world of the Emirati character. Meanwhile, "Dhabia's Tent" and "Dhabia's Friends" provide experiences inspired by the festival's characters.

A standout feature of this year's festival is a digital mural that families can create together using artificial intelligence. This activity allows each family to contribute to a shared work of art, blending creativity with technology.

Since its inception, the Mansour Festival has drawn upon the world of the Emirati animated character, which is closely associated with children's adventures, curiosity, and exploration. The third edition continues to bring this world to life with activities that combine entertainment and interaction, enabling children and their families to enjoy shared experiences.
