The new season of Global Village Dubai begins on October 14 and will host visitors until May 2027.

If you are one of those people who wait every year for Global Village to open, the date for this year has been set: Wednesday, October 14. Global Village returns for its thirty-first season and is set to offer a mix of popular attractions from previous years along with some new offerings.

In the new season, weekly parades, fireworks displays, and daily programs featuring international artists and dancers will take place, and various artists from around the world will also perform on the main stage.

With the purchase of a ticket, entry to the Global Village area, pavilions of different countries, the UAE Heritage section, and the 'Asia Road' is possible. Live shows and children's theater are also included in the ticket price.

However, the food section remains one of the most attractive parts of Global Village. Over 200 restaurants, cafes, and food stalls operate within the complex; from potatoes and ice cream to corn dogs, cotton candy, and options that usually quickly make their way onto social media. New food stalls are also planned for the new season.

Global Village has not always been here. Its first season was held in 1996 in a parking lot at Dubai Creek as a temporary project to attract tourists during the Dubai Shopping Festival. The complex was later moved several times, and after operating at Dubai Creek, Dubai Festival City, and Oud Metha, it moved to its current location in Dubailand in 2005.

In the new season, Global Village will operate every day from 4 PM to midnight. The official end date of the season has not yet been announced.
