Fans of Mansour, the award-winning Emirati cartoon, are in for a treat: Mansour The Festival is heading to Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi from 15 to 17 November 2024. Organised by Abu Dhabi Entertainment Company (ADEC) — a subsidiary of Solutions+, part of the Mubadala group — the three-day family event celebrates the cheerful 12-year-old cartoon character with an action-packed lineup of live shows, interactive activities, and world-record-breaking fun.
What to Expect at Mansour The Festival
The festival promises something for every age group. Live performances from talented artists, exclusive premieres, and hands-on workshops will run across the weekend, giving fans a deeper look into the world of Mansour and his friends.
Thrill-seekers can head to the excitement zone, which features a gaming area with arcade and VR games, a bouncy inflatable park, and — the headline attraction — the World's Biggest Ball Pit. Spanning 45 metres in diameter and filled with 2.4 million eco-friendly balls, organisers will attempt a Guinness World Records title during the event.
Cinema, Parade, and Drone Shows
For a more laid-back experience, families can catch a screening of "The New Adventures of Mansour: Age of AI Season 1" at the family cinema. Each evening the Adventures of Mansour Friendship Parade lights up the festival grounds, featuring custom-made floats, LED robots, dancers, drummers, and beloved mascot characters — 60 performance artists in total.
As night falls, look up for a spectacular drone light show painting the Abu Dhabi sky.
Grandpa & Sara's Fun Zone
Young children have their own dedicated space: Grandpa & Sara's Fun Zone, a desert-themed playground complete with food trucks where families can recharge between activities.
