Celebrate the Festival of Lights with a 10-day extravaganza this month at Ferrari World on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island.

The Park will host a variety of colourful activities and musical attractions for the whole family that combine ancient traditional celebrations with a modern twist.

The spectacular Laserman will perform for the first time in the Middle East, with dazzling laser-light effects transforming the darkness surrounding audiences at Cinema Maranello.

With authentic folk music and DJs playing more modern hits, the festivities will also feature dancers in colourful beaded costumes, while neon decorations and lights will take visitors on a nostalgic journey through time to the era when maharajas ruled.

Visitors will also be able to sample Indian cuisine, indulge in the beauty of henna painting, with artists creating intricate designs for hands and feet, and take home their own personalised gifts courtesy of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi’s sand artists.

“We are delighted to celebrate this season with our very own Festival of Lights this year,” says Victoria Lynn, the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi park manager.

“Our Indian guests are a key market at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and we have created an ad hoc setting with fun activities for the entire family to enjoy.”

• The Festival of Lights runs from 4pm to 9pm every day at Ferrari World from Friday until October 27. Visit www.­ferrariworldabudhabi.com for more information
