One of the most anticipated festivals for shopaholics—Dubai Shopping Festival is coming back and is set to take place from December 15 to January 29, 2022.

What makes the 27th edition of the festival special is the coinciding of it with both Expo 2020 and the UAE’s 50th anniversary Golden Jubilee celebrations, which promises a diverse line-up of events.

Dubai’s flagship festival will be taken to next level as the Expo 2020 site will be used as part of the festival. This year, the festival will bring a plethora of inventive events, lively concerts, incredible drone shows, fireworks displays, global brand collaborations, life-changing mega raffles, promotions and offers across a range of homegrown and global brands.

The festival will allow residents and visitors to enjoy exceptional experiences throughout the 46-day extravaganza wherein they will get to enjoy theatrical performances, community markets and exclusive exhibitions, folklore and heritage shows, funfairs, and many other activities for families and children, in addition to events at the Expo site and gastronomy delights across the city.

“With Dubai open to all travellers and visitors from across the globe, we will roll out an extraordinary Dubai Shopping Festival during this landmark year in which the city is hosting Expo 2020 and celebrating the nation’s Golden Jubilee,” shared Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE).

“As the longest-running and most successful shopping festival of its kind, we extend our deepest gratitude to our retailers and partners for their continued support to DSF, as we work even more closely with them this year to ensure that the festival will once again provide one of the best shopping experiences and create many memorable Dubai moments for residents belonging to over 200 nationalities, and global travellers,” he added.
