As part of the Madinat Jumeirah's New Year's Eve Celebrations a modern, radiant themed setup was designed and produced by Evolution. The event catered to more than 1,000 guests and featured a large dining setup in the main arena as well as a decorated pre-function area.

The 2nd UAE Commemoration Day (formerly known as Martyrs’ Day) was held at Memorial Park on the 30th November 2016; a special event to honour and remember those who have sacrificed their lives for the UAE. The ceremony was attended by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a royal representative of each of the seven Emirates and a large number of VVIP and VIP guests. Evolution was selected to provide technical, operational and production support for the event as well as design and create the VVIP Majlis and the temporary Visitors Centre for the Park, Wahat Al Karama.

A grand parade and show took place in December at the Grandstand of Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre under the patronage of the President of the UAE, HH Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to mark the 45th UAE National Day. Evolution provided site services, logistics support and local production assistance to Italian company Balich Worldwide Shows who designed and executed the show.

The Mother of the Nation Festival was held over the 10-day period of 24th of March – 2nd of April 2016 with the object of celebrating and commemorating the values and achievements of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak through creating an engaging, family-oriented event for all ages. Themes included healthy living, environmental awareness, creativity & emerging artists, charitable giving, and national pride. Evolution operated as the overall production company and was responsible for project management of the Festival, as well as designing and producing three of the festival's six unique zones that stretched along 1.3 kilometres of the Corniche in Abu Dhabi; namely The Souq, Beach Dining and the Art Zone. Evolution worked collaboratively with a selection of the regions leading event agencies to produce the remaining zones of the Festival, resulting in the successful execution of one of the largest arts and cultural festivals to ever to take place in the UAE. HQ Creative designed and produced the Activity & Conservation Zones, Mamemo designed and produced the Pavilion exhibition, The Fridge provided a range of entertainment throughout the Festival zones and Flash managed the overall site operations and logistics. With a remarkably short lead up time for pre-production, the overwhelming success of the festival is thanks to the incredible team effort of all the various organisers, suppliers, volunteers, and staff involved.
