One definite favorite of the crowd is the Smurf Village, a world premiere and unique RedFilo creation. With a playground, fishing river, artist corner, Smurfette’s beauty house, a reel mushroom and a cycling path all around the village no Smurf dreams are left unfulfilled.

But what would a Smurf Village be without the Smurfs? Papa Smurf, Hefty, Smurfette and many others are around to meet their fans!

Visitors include locals and expatriates from every Emirate, as well as GCC families and holiday makers. With its holistic concept of accommodating kids from 2 to 18 and above Summer in Abu Dhabi 2011 has once again become the must-see for all families.

ADNEC – a portrait of the biggest exhibition venue in the Middle East

The Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre is the largest exhibition venue in the Middle East. ADNEC was established in August 2005 under a decree issued by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi. The objective was to develop a venue that would replace the old Abu Dhabi International Exhibition Center and attract more meetings, incentives, conferences and events into the emirate. It embraced the broader goal of enhancing Abu Dhabi’s image as a business, leisure and lifestyle destination.

Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre

With 73,000sqm of live event space divided into 12 halls, an 18,000 sqm visitor concourse and a 3,000 sqm atrium ADNEC features state-of-the-art facilities and technical equipment for RedFilo events …

In 2009, ADNEC won Best International Venue (Adnec) International CONFEX Awards, Best Venue (Adnec) Middle East Event Awards, Best Trade Exhibition (IDEX 2009) Middle East Event Awards, Best Theme (Summer in Abu Dhabi) Middle East Event Awards and Middle East’s Leading Exhibition Centre (Adnec) World Travel Awards.

RedFilo is proud to have contributed to the success of IDEX 2009 and Summer in Abu Dhabi 2009.

In 2010, at the prestigious AEO (Association of Exhibition Organisers) Excellence Awards ADNEC was awarded the title of “International Venue of the Year” and also won the “Green Award” at the Middle East Event Awards, for the venue’s contribution to Abu Dhabi’s 2030 vision.

Summer in Abu Dhabi 2010

Summer in Abu Dhabi 2010 – the third edition of the six-week family festival – was significantly expanded by ADTA to encompass an awesome entertainment line-up taking in eight venues across the UAE capital and Al Ain – the first time the festival reached out to the emirate’s Eastern Region heritage heartland.

Building on the success of the first two editions, Summer in Abu Dhabi 2010 broke new-ground as it looked to attract more GCC visitors to the emirate and deliver greater benefits to its tourism sector.

Like its previous years, the magnitude of the summer festival was significant. Summer in Abu Dhabi 2010 lasted for 6 weeks (23rd June to 4th August). It involved a total of 110 international performers, 85 minders and 24 event management staff. Summer in Abu Dhabi 2010 proved to be as popular as its predecessors, attracting a total of 160,000 guests.

In SIAD, there were indigenous cultural performances, multi-dimensional entertainment experiences, ‘live’ cooking classes, competitions and workshops. And on top of the summer activities, we decided to increase the number of main shows. Summer in Abu Dhabi 2010 saw not one but three main shows! The first was Lord of the Dance, a musical based on an Irish folklore. The second was Fantasy on Ice, a whimsical production that skillfully combined figure skating and illusions. The third was the Big Apple Circus which is international renowned circus based in New York.
