What do you love doing on weekends? If you’re the kind who likes to show up in casuals and chill with pint of beer, here’s something you’ll love. Mark your diary for February 28 and 29 as a huge craft-brew festival is coming to Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi. The free-to-enter fest has a little something for everyone in the family, so this is just a perfect weekend idea!
What’s It?
For the very first time, HustleFest- a huge craft-brew festival is coming to Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina this February. The two day fest is free for all and has a host of activities to keep you engaged. Adults can chill with a can of beer, or hop around the food trucks while kids can participate in fun games, or dance to live music by DownHome, Who’s Who, DJ Darryl Rees and DJ Tulzy.
That’s not all! Beer connoisseurs can try over 30 never-tried-before-in-the-UAE brews, including citrus and malty flavours. The beers are brought from nine US-based brewers. Guests will also be able to sign up for tasting sessions, as well as participate in talks and trainings by speciality brewers from Colorado, Louisiana and Pennsylvania.
While entry is absolutely free, guests can buy a variety of packages:
AED 100: Tastemakers’ package (Includes an official HustleFest glass and three complimentary tastings)
AED 200: Brewmasters’ package (Includes a Teku-style glass, three full-size samples and a guided tour of the best brews at the festival)
And for those who wish to hang in longer, there’s a silent disco party to join in!
What Else?
Celebrate the most romantic day of the year under the starry desert sky at Sonara Camp this Valentine’s Day. The one-of-a-kind dining destination is serving up a host of delights for couples to binge on. The exquisite sharing menu features the best of seasonal ingredients, bubbles and rose bouquets.
And as you relish your meal, enjoy live music from the saxophonist, be serenaded table-side by Sonara Camp’s singer, or stargaze at the observatory with an astronomer. There is plenty on offer for families too- think sand-boarding and pétanque. Meanwhile, children can enjoy movie under the stars.
If you wish to hang around a little longer, spend the night under Nomadic Tents. Wake up to a stunning sunrise and enjoy a sumptuous breakfast in the dunes of the nature reserve before you head back home.
