DAZ Festival 2026 has officially come to a close after ten adventure-filled days at Al Jahili Park, Al Ain, with this year’s edition marking one of its most dynamic and well-attended editions to date. Welcoming families in strong numbers, the festival delivered a wild outdoor escape packed with action, discovery, entertainment and feel-good moments.
This year, the action was sky-high. From flying across the grounds on Zip the DAZ World to taking on Adventure Towers and pedalling through the air on Sky Cycle, families showed up ready to climb, glide and dive straight into the excitement.
Little explorers had plenty to roar about too. From making furry friends at the Petting Zoo and enjoying Pony World to digging into Fossil Discovery Workshops and getting hands-on at the Pottery & Clay Workshops, the festival was full of playful moments for curious minds and busy little hands. Meanwhile, Arcade Games and Prize Hunter kept the excitement going with quick-fire challenges, big reactions and plenty of crowd-pleasing energy.
The festival spirit stayed high throughout the event, with a lively line-up of entertainment on the Community Stage. Crowd favourites, including the Care Bears, Maya the Bee, and Shaun the Sheep, brought music, movement, and smiles, while roaming characters and surprise appearances kept the atmosphere lively across the grounds.
There was plenty to enjoy between the big moments too, with the Food Yard serving up family favourites and pop-up shopping adding even more to discover across the festival. Wrapped around it all was a safe, family-friendly atmosphere that let children play with confidence and helped parents enjoy the day with ease.
DAZ Festival 2026 may have wrapped up, but the call of the outdoors continues. With Al Jahili Park once again proving the perfect setting for family fun and discovery, we look forward to welcoming families back next year for another wild escape, with new experiences, bigger moments and plenty more reasons to step outside and explore together. See you in 2027!
