Cool festivals
Winter City
Snow is falling all around us at Expo City Dubai this winter season from December 8 to January 7, 2024. The market will take you into the imagination of a child with different elements taking over throughout the month. The whole family will just adore the festive feel here, so ensure you get it on your calendar.
We can also expect to see a huge stunning tree at Al Wasl Dome, a carol garden where you can sing, dance and enjoy a couple of bites as you soak in the festive feels.
Break the Block
Break the Block, a unique party which launched last year in Dubai Design District is returning, this time to Expo City Dubai. Perfect for the youth, the party begins at sunrise and lasts until sunset, and maybe even longer. The dates are not yet announced for the party festival, but it will take place at some point in January 2024.
Untold
In January, electronic music fans can head on over to the dance music festival Untold from February 15 to 18. Earlier this year it was announced that the first ever UNTOLD music festival outside of Romania will take place at Expo City Dubai in February 2024, bringing with it some of the world’s biggest acts and DJs for an unforgettable showcase of music and entertainment.

Hai Ramadan
Over the Holy Month of Ramadan, Hai Ramadan returns to Expo City Dubai from March 11 to April 10. 2024. Last year, the stunning Al Wasl Dome was home to a Ramadan cannon and for sustenance, there was a Ramadan market with a diverse selection of food trucks to enjoy iftar and suhoor. More details will be announced closer to the date.
Artificial Intelligence Film Festival (AIFF)
AI is slowly creeping up in the most unexpected places, and to explore its potential, Expo City Dubai is hosting the region’s first Artificial Intelligence Film Festival (AIFF).
