Teams for the 30th Bahrain International Music Festival are to arrive in the Kingdom later this month. The dates are according to a tender document launched by the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities.

The tender calls on interested agencies to make bids for booking tickets for the participating teams. Accordingly, participating teams for the festival start arriving in Bahrain by the last week of this month. Teams are to reach Bahrain from the 26th of this month.

The festival ends on the 16th of next month. Interested agencies should make their bids before the 15th of this month, with a BD500 bond and BD15 fee. Launched in 1992, Bahrain International Music Festival returns every year as part of the celebrations for International Music Day.

The festival, which merges diverse cultures and heritages from around the world, takes place at various cultural sites of the Kingdom. The festival, now in its 30th consecutive year, is part of the year-long celebrations on the theme of ‘Pearling Path’.

Bahrain will enjoy musical concerts, pianists, oud musicians, flamenco and the traditional tunes of the Kingdom. Those participating in the tender should have past experiences in undertaking similar projects.
