NATIONAL DAY EVENTS AND ENTERTAINMENT IN DUBAI & THE UAE
UAE National Day, Eid Al Etihad, falls on 2 December. In 2026 the country marks 55 years since the union of the emirates, and companies across Dubai and Abu Dhabi celebrate it with their teams, clients and guests. EFT Entertainment Group produces those celebrations, from a morning event at the office to an evening reception for several hundred guests.
HOW COMPANIES CELEBRATE UAE NATIONAL DAY
Most companies mark National Day in the working days before the holiday. The usual formats are an office celebration during the day, a staff lunch or dinner, and a reception for clients and partners in the evening. Hotels, restaurants and malls run their own programmes across the long weekend. Each format needs the same three things: a clear plan, entertainment that suits the occasion, and styling in the national colours.
WHAT WE PRODUCE FOR YOUR NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION
We take care of the whole celebration, so your team can join it instead of running it.
Concept, venue sourcing, catering coordination, event and artist permits, and on-the-day management.
A staged show built for the occasion by our own cast of vocalists, dancers and aerialists, in costumes made in-house.
Costumed performers who greet guests on arrival and move through the room. 30 to 60 minutes, no stage needed.
Red, green, white and black styling across the stage, costumes, screen content and decor.
Office celebrations by day and parties by night, sized for your team and planned around working hours.
National Day weekend entertainment for hotels, restaurants and venues, from a single show to a full programme.
WHY CHOOSE EFT ENTERTAINMENT GROUP
National Day celebrations are short, busy and close together. Here is why companies bring us in for them.
Entertainment that suits the occasion
National Day celebrates the country, so the programme should feel proud rather than generic. We build it around the national colours, music edited for the occasion and a show paced to your schedule: a 15-minute moment at the office or a full evening programme. Our own team produces all of it, from the cast, costume and choreography to the show caller on the day.
Planning your National Day event
2 December and the days around it are public holidays in the UAE, so most corporate celebrations take place in the last week of November and the first working days of December. Venues, stages and performers are committed early in that window. If you are reading this in November, contact us anyway: daytime and weekday slots are often still open.
Celebrating with teams in Abu Dhabi as well as Dubai? We work across the UAE and the wider GCC. See our event management in Abu Dhabi.
National Day, year-end and New Year
National Day opens the busiest weeks of the year, and many companies hold it close to their year-end party. It is easier to secure December dates if you brief both together. See our New Year and Christmas party production in Dubai.
Frequently asked questions
When is UAE National Day 2026?
2 December 2026. It marks the 55th anniversary of the union of the emirates in 1971 and is officially called Eid Al Etihad. Corporate celebrations usually take place in the working days before it.
Can you run a National Day celebration at our office?
Yes. A typical office format is welcome performers on arrival, a short stage show and styling in the national colours, set up around your working hours. We also produce evening receptions and staff dinners at hotels and venues, as part of our corporate event management.
Do you handle permits for National Day events?
Yes. We obtain the event permits and artist permits that each venue and event requires, so your team does not have to.
How quickly can we get a quote?
Send us the date, the venue or city, the number of guests and the format you have in mind. We can usually send an online quote within 1 hour.
Can we combine National Day with our year-end party?
Yes. Some companies hold one celebration that covers both; others book two dates with the same team. Briefing both at once makes December dates easier to secure.
