BAC offers airport as venue for Spring of Culture 2019

In a first, Bahrain Airport Company (BAC), a Silver Sponsor of the Spring of Culture 2019, is offering Bahrain International Airport (BIA) as a venue for the Kingdom’s largest annual art and culture festival. Now in its 14th year, the festival, which takes place from February to April, offers more than 60 events, including concerts, performing arts and visual arts held at prestigious modern and historical venues around the Kingdom.

Among them are the Bahrain National Museum, the Cultural Hall, the Art Centre, the Shaikh Ebrahim Centre, and now the BIA Arrivals hall. BAC C h i e f Executive Officer, Mohamed Yousif Al Binfalah said: “We hope to continue to support public events with the opening of the New Passenger Terminal Building, which will provide an even better venue for such activities and promote the Kingdom as a favoured cultural and touristic destination.”

Launched in 2006, the Spring of Culture has gathered a large following over the years, becoming the second most anticipated event in Bahrain after the Formula One Grand Prix, selling out most of its shows. It attracts a wide audience base from within the Kingdom and also abroad.
