After the record-breaking display of fireworks across the Dubai skyline on New Year’s Eve, a second round was witnessed by residents and visitors at the launch of the 19th annual Dubai Shopping Festival carnival.The launch, on January 2, began at 7pm at several locations along the Dubai Creek and from 9pm over the Diving and Heritage Village.
The fireworks display was just one of the many attractions at Dubai Creek on the evening of January 2 which was part of the carnival parade touted as the biggest in the history of the Dubai Shopping Festival.
Thousands of stage and street performers from all over the world came together to enthrall the public on Al Seef Street. They included musicians, dancers, acrobats, gymnasts, clowns, stilt walkers and inflatable and animal characters. The music was from all over, strains and instruments incorporated from every region. If you missed it live, your next best in Youtube.
Thirty-two days of the theme ‘Shop at Your Best’ hopes to give unique shopping experiences to residents, families and visitors through more than 150 events and activities spread across the city.
