JBR Winter Nights festival kicks off for the New Year

The Walk promenade at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), a favourite destination for Dubai residents and visitors in every season, is back with the return of the JBR Winter Nights festival.

Festival events will take place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until 31 December. Guests will be treated to film screenings under the stars. The programme includes a collection of popular films and cartoons including Aladdin, Home Alone 1, Cold Heart and more.

For guests with children there will be master-classes for making crafts, as well as board games. In addition, visitors can expect entertainment: themed parades and live performances.

On 31 December at 22:00, 23:00 and 00:00 there will be a large-scale parade in honour of the New Year. Participation in the festival is free of charge. As you know, a large-scale drone show will return to Dubai on 6 December. 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 can watch them at 8pm and 10pm each night.

The first show will take place from 6 to 26 December. Viewers will be treated to colourful visual effects 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 a repeat of it on 11 January.
