Sponsored: Celebrate Halloween with family fun, spooky games and autumn vibes at Expo City Dubai’s Harvest Festival

The season of celebrations kicks off at Expo City Dubai, and it starts with a festival that promises thrills, chills and plenty of family fun. Al Wasl Plaza will transform into a rustic autumn wonderland with a spooky twist for the Harvest Festival – Fall Edition, taking place on Friday October 31 and Saturday November 1.

This festival will transform the Al Wasl dome into an autumn wonderland, and one of the most exciting places to be in Dubai for Halloween. From 4pm to 10pm, little ones can dive into Halloween-inspired games and activities. The festival fun will include the Spider Hunt, Ghost Scooter Race, the Haunted Bouncy Castle, Pumpkin Sack Race and the Great Mummy Challenge. There’s even a vampire-led dance lesson where kids can learn the spookiest moves under the glow of Al Wasl dome’s award-winning 360-degree projections.

Creative hands will be kept busy at themed workshops where children can make monster masks, spooky spiders and bags of tricks to take home. While the kids get crafty, grown-ups can browse seasonal produce, artisanal stalls and enjoy food and drinks in the licensed dining zone. The best part? All activities and workshops are included in the ticket price.
