What To Know

  • Launched in 1997 as a modest pop-up during the Dubai Shopping Festival, Global Village began in a car park opposite the Dubai Municipality building at Dubai Creek.
  • It’s not just a theme park or a cultural festival—it’s a vibrant hub that celebrates the global melting pot that is Dubai.
  • If you’re in Dubai between October 2025 and May 2026, a visit to Global Village is a must for residents and tourists alike.

Dubai’s most beloved cultural and entertainment destination, Global Village, has officially confirmed its reopening date for the landmark 30th season. After its summer break, the family-favorite attraction is set to welcome visitors once again on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, running through to Sunday, May 10, 2026.

This milestone season promises to be the biggest and boldest yet, celebrating three decades of uniting cultures, cuisines, shopping, and entertainment under one roof.


A Dubai Institution for 30 Years

Launched in 1997 as a modest pop-up during the Dubai Shopping Festival, Global Village began in a car park opposite the Dubai Municipality building at Dubai Creek. Over the years, it moved several times—including stints at Oud Metha and Dubai Festival City—before finally settling in its current 17.2 million-square-foot location in Dubailand in 2005.

Since then, it has transformed into one of Dubai’s most iconic attractions, drawing millions of visitors every season. What started as a small market has grown into a massive multicultural celebration, offering an unparalleled mix of food stalls, themed pavilions, thrilling rides, shopping bazaars, and live performances.


What to Expect in Season 30

The upcoming season is not just another reopening—it marks 30 years of Global Village, and the organizers are preparing special additions to make it unforgettable.

  • Cultural Pavilions: In Season 29, Global Village hosted 30 pavilions representing 90 cultures. With the anniversary season, visitors can expect even more new pavilions and experiences celebrating Dubai’s diversity.

  • Food & Dining: From viral street food creations to authentic global cuisines, Global Village is famous for its wide range of food stalls and dining concepts that attract food lovers every year.

  • Carnival Rides & Attractions: Families can look forward to the exciting Carnaval zone, packed with rides, arcade games, and children’s attractions.

  • Concerts & Live Entertainment: The venue regularly hosts international music stars, dance troupes, acrobats, and cultural shows, making every visit unique.

  • Fireworks & Special Events: Expect dazzling fireworks displays and anniversary-themed shows to mark this special 30th season.


20 Years at Dubailand

This season also coincides with another milestone—20 years since Global Village relocated to Dubailand. The move in 2005 allowed the attraction to expand dramatically, offering space for larger pavilions, more entertainment venues, and an enhanced visitor experience.


Why Global Village Stands Out

Unlike other attractions in Dubai, Global Village blends entertainment, culture, shopping, and food into a single immersive experience. It’s not just a theme park or a cultural festival—it’s a vibrant hub that celebrates the global melting pot that is Dubai.

Whether it’s shopping for handcrafted souvenirs, sampling street food from across continents, or watching breathtaking live performances, every visit feels different.


Dates to Remember

  • Opening Day: Wednesday, October 15, 2025

  • Closing Day: Sunday, May 10, 2026

  • Location: Global Village, Dubailand, Dubai


Final Word

Season 30 of Global Village is set to be historic. With its combination of cultural showcases, thrilling rides, and international entertainment, it continues to embody the spirit of Dubai—diverse, vibrant, and always evolving.

If you’re in Dubai between October 2025 and May 2026, a visit to Global Village is a must for residents and tourists alike.
