# elrow Dubai 2025: Rowlympic Games at Expo City
The globally celebrated elrow Dubai 2025 festival returns for its third edition on Saturday, May 17, 2025, and it's the biggest edition yet. Organized by Dubai Dance District at Expo City Dubai's Jubilee Park, the Rowlympic Games theme promises a Roman-meets-Olympic carnival of house and techno music, staggering visuals, and festival-style jubilation that will keep 12,000-plus ravers dancing until 4 a.m.
What Is the Rowlympic Games Theme?
This year elrow has conjured a Roman coliseum showdown where Barbarows and Romans battle for the title of ultimate party animal. The story begins in 50 AC, in a tiny village of ravers resisting Roman rule armed with nothing but a magic potion of fun. Expect Jubilee Park to be transformed into Caesar's playground — Olympic torches, vaulting poles, giant rings, gladiators, Cleopatra's dancers, Greek gods, and roaming performers woven through the crowd. Add elrow's signature confetti blizzards and the result is a sensory spectacle unlike any other event on the UAE calendar.
