Dionela, known for songs including “Sining”, “Oksihina” and “Marilag”, will perform live as part of the Filipino-themed celebration.
Yas Waterworld is positioning Kabayan Night as more than a traditional concert, with the event combining Dionela’s performance with Filipino food, entertainment and access to the waterpark’s attractions.
The evening will feature live singers and DJs, a parade with street dancers, roaming performers and themed photo opportunities. Guests can also sample Filipino street food throughout the event.
More than 70 rides and waterpark experiences
