We are once again pleased to organise the Dakakeen Festival this year at the Khorfakkan Amphitheatre Square due to the large turnout and noticeable public interest last year."
The Dakakeen Festival, which is being organised in the large Square and outdoor space of the Khorfakkan Amphitheatre, aims to support local entrepreneurs' industries and home-grown projects by enterprising and productive families to enhance community and institutional partnership in the emirate, stressed Allay.
