Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards Abu Dhabi
Childhood, Restored! The Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards Is Coming to the Middle East

It's official. Nickelodeon have announced that for the very first time, Abu Dhabi will host the annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards for five years in a row.
Starting September 19 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, the fun-filled awards will last three days, giving everyone the chance to relive their childhood.
The move honors a five-year deal between the owners of Nickelodeon, Viacom, and Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism. Saif Saeed Ghobash, Undersecretary of DCT Abu Dhabi, said: "An event of this stature fits perfectly with our mandate to provide the very best entertainment and activations for all sectors of society, and we are looking forward to seeing overseas visitor numbers increasing as a consequence of securing this significant event for Abu Dhabi for the next five years."
And, yes, the infamous orange carpet will bring together your favorite stars, both old and new, as well as international and regional acts. In short, expect musical performances, dance acts, a larger than life host, and a lot of slime.
