The programme’s launch marked the dawn of a new era for the city, setting it on a course to become a dynamic metropolis that would place it firmly on the global stage.

Dubai residents and visitors should mark their calendars for the world’s biggest A-list performers and celebrities in a showstopping line-up of live concerts including the eagerly awaited return of the incredibly popular 321 Festival, ever-popular outdoor pop-up community experiences Market Outside The Box (MOTB) and Canteen X, the biggest-ever shopping deals from over 1,000 global and local brands, joyful festive experiences, memorable New Year’s Eve celebrations, as well as sensational adventures at thrilling theme parks, high-octane outdoor adventures, beachside destinations, and incredible chances to win life-changing prizes. Plus, free enchanting immersive displays will splash the Dubai skies with stunning visuals, colours, and lights every night throughout the 38 days of DSF, ranging from the mesmerising Dubai Lights, captivating fireworks, alongside thrilling daily, free to watch world-class drone shows.
