Festivals And Cultural Events In Dubai
Dubai is home to some of the world’s most spectacular events, with the Middle East’s largest and most exciting festivals. From food and film to music and art, the Emirate’s events calendar is packed with amazing activities to experience.
Every January, the Dubai Shopping Festival kicks off, enticing shoppers from all over the world. With fireworks and special entertainment, long-weekend bargains and deals, this event has it all. Every night a different show is staged, as well as concerts, competitions and an array of daily activities.
March is celebrated in the Emirate with Emirati Women's Day. The event raises awareness of the role of women in Emirati culture and features a variety of entertainment, such as traditional dance performances and art exhibitions.
The holy month of Ramadan is a special time for visitors to Dubai. As the Islamic fasting period draws to a close, celebrations abound. In addition to traditional Iftar dinner buffets, visitors can take part in the festivities such as literary readings, poetry recitals, cultural performances and sports events, such as ‘Racing on the Corniche’, which is held on the banks of the Dubai Creek.
In April, the Dubai International Film Festival celebrates cinema and art with world-class films, award ceremonies and exclusive red carpet events. Local talent and international stars come together to celebrate the city’s rich and diverse culture.
For more up-market entertainment, the Dubai Opera hosts an array of concerts and performances, including recent headline acts such as Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli.
For something a little different, the Global Village is a vibrant outdoor entertainment destination offering cultural performances and carnival attractions from around the world.
So, if you’re in Dubai – or have the opportunity to visit – don’t miss out on the chance to attend some of the world’s most spectacular cultural events.
