By now you should know that the big race is only one part of F1 weekend.
There’s loads going on across Abu Dhabi, from crazy auctions, big parties, pop-up events, brunches, pool parties, concerts and more. You’re spoiled for choice once again this year.
Planning on brunch on F1 weekend? Here are all the big brunches to check out on Yas Island this year.
Candypants
Back for the third year, the Social Pit Lane brunch by party planners Candypants (they put on some of the biggest bashes in the UAE) will take over Casa De Cuba at Yas Marina with a four-hour all-inclusive brunch every day from Thursday to Sunday. Then, once the brunches are out of the way everyone is invited to join in the after party until 3am. If you’ve always dreamed of watching the Formula One from a yacht (would there actually be anything better in the world?), you can do just that from The Trackside Mega Yacht on along with a whole twelve house of premium food and beverages. Sounds like just a standard weekend really…
