Global Village has extended its 30th season until Sunday, May 31, 2026, coinciding with the Eid Al Adha celebrations. The move allows families and visitors to enjoy the multicultural destination before the season concludes.
Since reopening on 20 April, Global Village has welcomed guests back with strong attendance. Season 30 featured more than 3,500 retail outlets, over 250 dining options representing more than 90 cultures, and more than 200 rides and attractions at Carnaval. Live entertainment included 450 performers staging over 40,500 shows across the Main Stage and Kids’ Theatre.
Fernando Eiroa, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Holding Entertainment, said: “Season 30 marks a significant milestone for Global Village, reflecting three decades of growth, evolution and shared success. It has shown the strength of the destination, the dedication of our teams and partners and the continued trust of our guests.
Concluding the season during Eid Al Adha, a time that brings communities together, allows us to celebrate alongside the families, residents and visitors who have made this chapter so memorable. As we look ahead to Season 31, our focus remains on building on this momentum, continuing to evolve the guest experience, strengthen our offering and reinforce Global Village’s position as one of the region’s most distinctive destinations for culture, entertainment, dining and retail.”
