The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities invites you to be part of the fourth edition of Muharraq Nights, taking place in December 2025 to coincide with the Kingdom’s National Day celebrations.
Muharraq Nights Festival is a vibrant celebration of art, design, fashion, crafts, music, food, activities and tours, held along the Pearling Path. The festival takes place throughout December, coinciding with Bahrain’s National Day celebrations, and unfolds across the historic neighbourhoods of the city.
The festival aims to establish a meaningful platform for curatorial collaboration and interactive cultural exchange, fostering creative development across the fields of culture, heritage, and design.
