Season 30 of Global Village Dubai is around the corner
Global Village Dubai might’ve only just wrapped up for the summer, but if you’re already craving stacked fries, late-night fireworks and a full lap around all the pavilions, here’s the good news: you won’t be waiting too long. Global Village Dubai is expected to reopen around late October, and this time, it’s celebrating its 30th season. That means bigger crowds, new food stalls, big performances, and even more spots to spend your winter weekends.
So, when is Global Village reopening in 2025?
While the official date hasn’t dropped yet, based on the last few seasons, it’s safe to expect a late October opening. Last year, gates opened around October 18, right on cue with cooler temps and outdoor plans. And with this season marking three decades of Global Village, you can bet they’re planning something big, so keep an eye out as official dates usually land closer to launch.
What to expect this year
Season 30 isn’t just any season, it’s a major milestone. In 2024, Global Village featured 30 pavilions representing over 90 cultures. Expect even more this time around, with new additions likely in the mix.
You’ll still find all the things we know and love: street food from around the world, wild rides, live shows, and stunt performances. Oh, and those viral snacks? They’re not going anywhere.
