The stage is set for “This is Bahrain” festival to be held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa on December 11 at the National Stadium Car Park as part of festivities celebration of Bahrain’s National Day.
“A rich programme featuring live shows and recreational events for children and families will start at 3pm and run until 11pm,” said Bahrain Federation of Expatriate Associations (BFEA) Secretary-General Betsy B. Mathieson in a press conference here yesterday.
She also explained the ongoing preparations ahead of the festival as Bahrain gears up to celebrate the National Day and the Accession of HM the King.
She commended Bahrain’s longstanding reputation as the bedrock of human civilisations and a millennia-old crossroad, which embraced various religions and races, hailing people’s freedom to exercise their faith - something which is rarely seen in other countries.
“Bahrain remain steadfast despite all the challenges and the terror which is ravaging many societies,” she remarked.
“HM the King consolidated religious liberties and openness on other cultures and cultivated the spirit of closely-knit family in Bahrain, which is long-famed for tolerance and co-existence,” she added.
Mathieson thanked the sponsoring companies and all participants for their cooperation.
