Bahrain International Circuit is once again organising and hosting the momentous occasion. This signifies the important role the circuit plays in being a global ambassador to the country and how highly it is regarded as an iconic venue to all those visiting Bahrain.

The BIC National Day Festival is being held with the support of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister. The spectacular celebration marks both Bahrain’s National Day and His Majesty King Hamad’s accession to the throne.

It will include all sorts of children’s rides and activities, a traditional suq, food and beverage stalls, and live musical performances by massive regional artists.

Back-to-back nights of spectacular fireworks displays were also a major part of the 2017 festival, and a similar show is expected this year, illuminating the Sakhir desert sky with loads of brilliant colour. BIC’s National Day Festival has become a favourite occasion in the local community, for both Bahrainis and expatriates alike.
