Firework displays and carnivals stand to add colour to this year’s Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) as residents and visitors await the 15th edition of the Festival, said the event organisers.

The fireworks, sponsored by the Al Zarooni Group, will be held everyday throughout DSF at the Al Seef area beside Dubai Creek at 8.30pm, said the DSF office.

Dubai Carnivals, also popular with residents and visitors, will enhance the festivities across the city with parades in shopping malls and the main street venues – Al Seef, Dhiyafah, Rigga, and The Walk at JBR.

Around 150 performers, including jugglers, stilt walkers, unicyclists, and percussionists, are expected to take part in the carnivals. While groups of performers will parade in shopping malls through the week, all performers will get together on weekends at one venue for the ‘big carnival’.

Dubai Carnivals feature a convergence of cultures and performances created to regale the crowds and spread the spirit of DSF across Dubai, and it celebrates different cultures and traditions with spectacular costumes and music, they added.-TradeArabia News Service
