Every summer, as the temperatures soar across the UAE, residents and visitors alike seek cool, engaging ways to stay active and entertained. The Indoor Summer Festival at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) offers just that — a massive, air-conditioned indoor playground for people of all ages to enjoy a variety of activities, exhibitions, and entertainment.

This year’s festival is especially exciting for sports fans, as the Open Masters Games 2026 has a dedicated booth promoting the upcoming international event. The Games, scheduled for 2026, will bring together amateur athletes from around the world to compete in a wide range of sports – and now, visitors to ADNEC can get a sneak preview.

Free Sports Activities for Everyone

One of the standout features of the Indoor Summer Festival is that all sports activities are free of charge. In a region known for its intense summer heat, the chance to enjoy indoor sports in a fully air-conditioned environment is both a health-conscious and fun alternative to staying home. From badminton and basketball to yoga, table tennis, and mini football, there’s something for every age group and fitness level.

Staff are on hand to answer questions, help athletes sign up, and showcase how Abu Dhabi is preparing to host this inclusive, multi-sport event for masters athletes.
