The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities(BACA) has today officially ushered the 2016 edition of the Bahrain Summer Festival.
The Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities(BACA) launched the 8th edition at a special event held at Nakhool Tent next to the Bahrain National Museum.
The festival, which will run until August 7, comes as part of a wider strategic initiative spearheaded by BACA aimed at boosting the island’s position as a regional cultural tourism hub.
Held under the theme "Your Destination Bahrain", the 8th edition of the popular month-long festival will feature the usual amazing lineup of top shows and artists at the Cultural Hall representing a wide range of genres and cultures, as well as an interactive edu-tainment program at the Nakhool Tent.
The live show has the beloved tiny blue creatures preparing to hold their annual Spring Parade.
The festival wraps up on August 4 with a voyage to the heart of Andalusian Spain led by the Spanish singer and choreographer Luis de la Carrasca and his company "Flamenco Vivo". Brought to the audience in cooperation with the French Embassy and Alliance Francaise, the show brings a fresh take on this uniquely Spanish art form by integrating it with dramatic and classical plays.
Throughout it all, the Nakhool Tent will provide a nurturing environment for kids and young adults with a full program of interactive workshops, events, and competitions with festival mascots Nakhool and Nakhoola.
Drawing from cultures all around the world, the activities are designed with the objective of sparking the imagination and grooming budding skills and interests of the next generation.
Thanks
