Global Village Dubai is the world’s largest multicultural festival park and one of the UAE’s most beloved annual events. Now in its milestone Season 30 (2025–2026), the park runs from 15 October 2025 to 10 May 2026, offering six months of entertainment, shopping, food, and live performances from over 90 countries.

With 27 cultural pavilions, 200+ rides and attractions, and more than 250 cuisines available across hundreds of food stalls, Global Village is a destination event in itself. Each country’s pavilion showcases authentic food, handicrafts, performances, and cultural exhibits — it’s genuinely one of the best ways to experience world culture in one evening.

What to Expect at Global Village Season 30

Season 30 promises to be the biggest yet, with new pavilions, a dedicated Restaurant Plaza, and an expanded rides section including thrill rides and family-friendly attractions. Live entertainment stages feature daily performances — from traditional folk dance to contemporary pop concerts — often at no extra cost beyond general admission.

The park is best visited on weekday evenings when crowds are manageable. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights are extremely busy — arrive early (opening time) on those nights to get the most out of your visit. The Dragon Kingdom thrill ride zone and the main entertainment stage are highlights not to miss.
