Spring of Culture
Arts and Cultures · Manama, Bahrain
The festival
Every spring Bahrain will be performing for three months. Spring of Culture, organized by the Bahraini Authority for Culture and Antiquities with its partners, aligns concerts, theatre, exhibitions, poetry, conferences and workshops throughout the kingdom, from the Bahraini National Theatre to heritage sites such as the Fort of Qal'at al-Bahrain. Its twentieth edition, from March to May 2026, celebrates both the authentic components of Bahraini society and the openness to cultures around the world.
It is the great cultural season of the Gulf: a living dialogue between heritage and contemporary creation.
