Popular drone show to return to Dubai

One of the most beloved events at the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), the massive drone show, will return to Dubai on December 6, 2024. For 38 days, drones will light up the skies over Bluewaters and The Beach, JBR.

There will be two new shows this year, each a colourful display of 1,000 drones lighting up the night sky. You’ll be able to watch them at 8pm and 10pm each night.

The first show, which will run from 6 to 26 December, will focus on past years of the Dubai Shopping Festival. Audiences will be treated to colourful visuals and drone figures that will take them on a journey through three decades of magical moments.

The second show will take place from 27 December 2024 to 12 January 2025 and will combine tradition and modernity through visual effects and a powerful soundtrack.

In addition, for true fans of spectacle, a brand new drone pyrotechnic show will take place on 13 December at The Beach, JBR. A combination of fireworks and aerobatics from skydivers, all against the backdrop of Ain Dubai, can be seen at 8pm.

A second pyrotechnic drone show (this time without parachutists) will take place at 10pm the same day.

Those who miss the pyrotechnics show on 13 December will be able to see it repeated on 11 January as part of the final weekend of DSF.

Each of these shows is free to attend.

During the annual Dubai Shopping Festival, residents and visitors can enjoy unique offers, entertainment for the whole family and endless surprises. Retailers will be able to find all sorts of products, most of which are tax-free.

Apart from promotions and discounts, the festival will also organise family activities, themed entertainment, film screenings, street plays, fireworks night, games, international fashion shows, rock concerts and other types of cultural programmes.
