Dubai: The Diwali spirit for Indians in Dubai just got an exciting extension! Emirates Loves India, the UAE’s largest celebration of the Indian community, is set to take place on October 26 — one week after Diwali.

The grand event will be hosted at Zabeel Park and promises to be a spectacular cultural showcase that captures the energy, colors, and spirit of India. Organized in collaboration with the UAE Government Media Office, the festival will feature live performances by top Indian artists including Neha Kakkar, Mika Singh, and Neeraj Madhav.

Visitors can look forward to a vibrant cultural parade by IPF, a wide selection of mouth-watering Indian dishes, state-themed cultural stalls, interactive exhibitions, and a fun-filled kids’ zone. With over 30 Indian cuisines represented, the festival offers a true taste of India in the heart of Dubai.

The best part? Entry is completely free! However, guests are required to register in advance via the WhatsApp link available on the event’s official Instagram profile.

Ahead of the main event, leading Indian content creators and influencers will gather for an exclusive evening of panel discussions, networking, and conversations celebrating the shared cultural ties and vision behind this massive celebration.

The Indian community, numbering over 4.36 million in the UAE, continues to play a vital role in the country’s growth and development. During India’s Independence Day celebration in August, Consul General Satish Sivan emphasized the deep connection between India and the UAE, describing it as a relationship “anchored in trust, shared vision, and mutual growth.”
