About this listen
Tonight, head to Bluewaters Island or The Beach at JBR for the DSF Drone Show kicking off its "Celebration" theme at 8 PM and 10 PM sharp. Times of India reports these 1,000 drones will sync to an epic Hans Zimmer soundtrack, creating a cinematic sky spectacle that's free for everyone—pure family entertainment under the stars. Pair it with nightly fireworks at Al Seef at 8:30 PM, lighting up the historic souk with free public viewing.
Tomorrow, Christmas Day, dive into Expo City's Carols by Candlelight from 6:20 PM to 7:20 PM for soulful holiday tunes in a cozy glow, also listed by Expo City. And brace yourselves—Saturday, December 26, launches the Dubai Shopping Festival, running through February 1, organized by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment. Times of India highlights the 12-Hour Mega Sale from 10 AM to 10 PM at Majid Al Futtaim malls like Mall of the Emirates and City Centre, with flat 90% discounts on fashion, electronics, and luxury goodies across over 3,500 stores and 1,000 brands. Spend AED 300 or more to scan receipts for the Shop, Scan & Win draws, where you could snag one of five Nissan Patrol SE T2 2026 vehicles.
Weekend warriors, hit Etisalat by e& MOTB at City Walk—weekdays from 4 PM, weekends from noon—for live music and pop-ups, all free entry. Canteen X at Mushrif Park runs daily from 4 PM to 11:30 PM with street food feasts. As New Year's Eve approaches on December 31, expect fever-pitch fireworks at Souk Al Seef, Marsa Boulevard, and Dubai Festival City Mall's "IMAGINE" laser-water-fire show, plus Hatta's mountain fireworks at 8 PM for a chill vibe.
Whether you're shopping till you drop, drone-gazing, or fireworks-chasing, Dubai's serving non-stop festive fun. Dress comfy, use the metro to beat traffic, and make memories.
