DUBAIExpo City Dubai has announced the launch of its much-anticipated Al Wasl Season, set to run from 31st October 2025 to 2nd May 2026.

Held under the theme ‘One Destination, Every Celebration’, the season promises a diverse line-up of cultural showcases, musical concerts and family-friendly festivities.

The events will take place beneath the Al Wasl Dome, a Guinness World Record-holding structure that has become an iconic symbol of the city.

Al Wasl Season

The season will feature a series of signature and new events designed to attract a wide audience. These include the Harvest Festival (31 October–1 November; 31 January; 4 April; 2 May), offering four themed markets filled with fresh organic produce and family entertainment. The Dhai Dubai Light Art Exhibition (12–18 November) will provide a free showcase of creativity through light and design. The inaugural Festival of Cake (28 November–2 December) is set to gather world-class pastry chefs for a five-day culinary celebration.

December brings the much-loved Winter City (6–31 December), transforming Al Wasl Plaza into a snow-filled wonderland, alongside Carols by Candlelight (20–24 December). The New Year’s Eve celebrations on 31 December will feature two countdowns, including an early one at 2100 for children, followed by a grand midnight fireworks display.

Running through the holy month, Hai Ramadan (1–30 Ramadan) will capture the spiritual essence of the season, while the Firdaus Orchestra will perform concerts from January to April. A variety of sports and wellness activities will also continue across the season, combining fitness with community spirit.
