1. Evolution Scenic cultural scenic fabrication created for the Al Wathba Union Parade 2024.

Large ceremonial events require scenic environments that respect cultural identity while also resolving access, safety, technical concealment and guest movement. For the Annual Union Parade 2024 in Al Wathba, Evolution Scenic delivered a coordinated range of culturally inspired scenic elements and functional event structures within a demanding production programme.


The scope included tribal benches, custom lamp décor bases, branded walls, family tents, a large wooden roundabout, CNC-cut log walling, bespoke steps and ramps for His Highness’s entrances, technical hiders, camera platforms, cable trunk cladding, fire extinguisher stands and signage walls. Together, these elements created a visually cohesive environment that balanced cultural presentation with operational and safety requirements.

The Challenge


The project required scenic fabrication to meet several priorities at the same time: cultural authenticity, functional access, technical integration, safety compliance and fast-track delivery.


The event environment needed to reflect traditional visual cues through benches, tents, decorative features and timber treatments, while also accommodating practical infrastructure such as speaker concealment, camera positions, cable management and safety equipment.


Access for His Highness also required dedicated scenic structures, including custom steps and ramps, which needed to work seamlessly within the wider visual language of the event.


The tight programme and complex logistics added further pressure, particularly because each element had to satisfy both operational requirements and a high standard of cultural presentation.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic developed a range of bespoke scenic and structural elements tailored to the parade environment.


Culturally inspired features included tribal benches, custom lamp décor bases, branding walls and family tents, helping establish a consistent visual identity across the site.


A major feature was the custom wooden roundabout, incorporating a CNC-fabricated log wall treatment. Bespoke steps and ramps were integrated into the structure to support His Highness’s entrances while maintaining a coherent scenic finish.


Technical infrastructure was also carefully concealed. Custom hiders were fabricated for speaker boxes, while camera platforms and cable trunk cladding were developed to preserve functionality without allowing technical equipment to dominate the visual environment.


Safety-related elements, including fire extinguisher stands and signage walls, were incorporated into the scenic treatment so that required equipment remained accessible while still fitting within the overall design.


The project was delivered under tight deadlines and complex logistical conditions, requiring close coordination across fabrication, finishing, transport and on-site installation.
