Three major shopping centers in Dubai will host street performances, parades, and family entertainment over three weekends.

Alongside Dubai's summer surprise, a new festival called DSS Performing Arts Fest has been launched; a free event that will turn Dubai's shopping centers into live performance stages for three weekends.

This festival will take place from Friday, July 24 to Sunday, August 16, showcasing a variety of performances including theatrical acts, dance, acrobatics, street parades, and family programs at one of the city's major shopping centers each weekend.

The first destination of the festival is Dubai Festival City Mall, which will host performances by groups such as Roller Glam, Beat Boosters, and the Golden Zest parade from July 24 to 26. In addition, character performances, orchestral acts, and interactive programs will be held in various sections of the mall.

In the second weekend, from July 31 to August 2, the festival will move to Mall of the Emirates, where visitors can enjoy the Feather Glow light displays, aerial performances, family entertainment programs, and the Wondrous Circus Parade.

The final stop of the festival will be City Centre Deira, which will host the event from August 14 to 16, showcasing some of the most popular performances from the previous two weeks.

All these programs will take place from 10 AM to 10 PM, and entry is free.

Whether you have plans for a family day, want to spend time with friends, or just want to escape the summer heat for a few hours, this festival is an opportunity to turn a regular shopping trip into a fun experience.
