Traditional troupe performances present a group of authentic Emirati performing arts, including the art of spirituality, in a lively atmosphere that celebrates national identity and common cultural heritage, highlighting the legacies that united members of society across generations, and contributed to preserving national memory and enhancing community cohesion.
The Abu Dhabi Police Music Band performs a series of live musical performances that mix national, festive and contemporary works.

The program includes two creative workshops that allow visitors to express the values of Union Day through practical experiences that combine creativity and national identity, namely the embroidery workshop and the plant pot decorating workshop, in addition to the “Stories and Anecdotes Passed Through Generations” session, inspired by Emirati heritage.
