Launch date of Liwa Date Festival brought forward

Abu Dhabi: The ten-day Liwa Date Festival, organised by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH), will begin on July 12 instead of July 16.

The decision came during a meeting held by the event's higher organising committee.

The decision to bring the launch date forward is due to technical and operational procedures, as well as the fact that Ramadan is expected to begin on August 1.

The decision also allows the Ajman Culture and Media Department to host the festival for three days starting from July 27.
