The Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) is set to celebrate its monumental 30th edition from December 6, 2024, to January 12, 2025, transforming the city into a wonderland of excitement and entertainment.
Organized by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), this year’s DSF promises 38 days of unparalleled experiences, including free drone shows, daily fireworks, raffles with mega prizes, and new-to-Dubai concepts.
From its humble beginnings 30 years ago at just five malls, DSF has evolved into the world’s longest-running retail festival, attracting millions of visitors annually. The 30th edition will feature a blend of beloved traditions and fresh, exciting additions, ensuring there's something for everyone. Highlights include the 321 Festival at Coca-Cola Arena, star-studded performances, and free-to-attend concerts at Dubai Festival City Mall. New experiences like DSF Auto Season, DSF Nights, and the Hatta x DSF celebration offer unique, citywide adventures.
Entertainment will reach new heights with twice-daily drone shows at Bluewaters Island and JBR, showcasing breathtaking visuals and pyrotechnic displays. The city's skyline will light up nightly with fireworks at Dubai Festival City Mall and in Hatta.
Additionally, DSF’s retail promotions are expected to be bigger than ever, with over 1,000 local and global brands offering exclusive deals, discounts, and flash sales across Dubai’s malls, souks, and markets. DSF continues to solidify Dubai’s position as the world’s premier destination for events, shopping, and entertainment.
Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of DFRE, expressed excitement about this year’s milestone edition, stating,
"This year’s DSF will be the ultimate celebration of Dubai’s global excellence in tourism and entertainment."
With endless entertainment, spectacular shows, and unbeatable shopping, the 30th Dubai Shopping Festival promises to be an unforgettable experience for all.
