Dubai Festival City Mall has officially launched Festival Bay Season 3, bringing back its signature waterfront celebrations filled with live entertainment, culinary adventures, and immersive family attractions.
Running throughout the winter months, this year’s edition celebrates creativity, connection, and culture through a rich mix of experiences designed to engage all senses.
At the heart of the festivities is Bay by Social, curating some of Dubai’s most loved home-grown dining concepts. Foodies can enjoy the familiar taste of Shawarma Abu Al Abid and Salties, while those with a sweet tooth can explore the all-natural pops from House of Pops, Churros Factory’s golden treats, and handmade chocolates from Choco Berry Boutique.
The bay’s open-air stage will light up with concerts under the stars, featuring regional and international performers across genres—from pop and rock to Arabic soul—set against Dubai’s glittering skyline.
As part of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) celebrations, DSF Nights will take over weekends with fireworks, live music, global shows, and exclusive shopping deals, keeping the festive spirit alive for all visitors.
To mark the cooler season, the venue also transforms into a winter waterfront experience, complete with glowing light trails, family workshops, and lively festive markets—offering an ideal escape for residents and tourists alike.
Looking ahead, the mall teased its upcoming attraction, Beyond Dubai, an immersive multimedia dome set to open in 2026, showcasing a 270-degree screen experience that fuses global culture with local creativity.
“Our goal has always been to create experiences that go far beyond traditional retail or entertainment,” said Hayssam Hajjar, Executive Director – Regional Malls at Al-Futtaim Real Estate. “What we’re bringing to Festival Bay this season is a true reflection of how we, at Al-Futtaim, constantly think beyond boundaries—transforming every visit into a story of discovery, emotion, and connection.”
Festival Bay Season 3 officially opened on October 24 at Dubai Festival City Mall, redefining waterfront experiences in the UAE once again.
