Sponsored: Expect a host of brilliant live performances and free workshops…

Bluewaters is Dubai’s latest destination, and if you’ve not already checked it out, here’s a reason to. The island, off The Beach, JBR, is in the middle of a free, pop-up music, art and dance festival.

Taking place this weekend on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, guests can enjoy an array of live performances and free workshops at the waterfront destination.

On Fridays, guests can attend a free guitar workshop, while Saturday is all about the Djembe drum. Both days you can also make your own music at a body percussion masterclass.

Keen to discover some local talent? Head down to the open mic session this Saturday March 2, with vocalists of all ages taking part.

It’s the perfect chance to check out some brilliant local talent, as well as some international performers and artists.

After music, a month-long art festival will begin from March 7, with brilliant workshops, demos and installations to get involved in every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Paintbrushes at the ready…
