Stop everything! The art event of the season has officially arrived, and it’s transforming the Souq Al Mina waterfront into a breathtaking dreamscape.

The world-famous KAWS:HOLIDAY project has made its grand Middle Eastern debut, and let me tell you, the photos do NOT do it justice. You have to see this colossal, luminous spectacle for yourself!

“KAWS: HOLIDAY” debuted in Abu Dhabi in November 2025.

So, What's the Big Deal?

Picture this: KAWS’s beloved COMPANION figure, but on a truly epic scale. This isn't just a statue; it's an experience. The giant character is reclining peacefully, looking up at the stars while tenderly cradling a brilliantly glowing moon.

The way the light radiates from the installation creates a magical, almost serene atmosphere. It’s a powerful blend of playful art and profound beauty, perfectly positioned between the modern city and the timeless sea. This is an unforgettable sight you’ll be talking about for ages!
