Dubai Festival City Mall
"Christmas markets, fairground rides and Santa by the waterfront. December has plans."
DXB Winter Festival arrives beside Dubai Festival City Mall from 1 December 2026 to 10 January 2027, bringing a European-inspired Christmas market, festive food stalls and open-air cafés to the waterfront.
The programme includes Santa’s Grotto, a funfair, creative workshops, live performances and parades, with different celebrations across the season. Come for a browse, stay for something to eat and leave room for whichever ride the children spot first.
“Check the day’s programme before choosing your arrival time. Santa, workshops and live performances deserve a little more planning than “we’ll see what’s on”.”
“Open 4pm–midnight on weekdays and from 2pm on weekends, with entrances from the mall and the bay. Check ticket prices and attraction inclusions before booking.”
