A Season of Celebrations

The popular family attraction welcomed thousands of guests over National Day weekend as the UAE celebrated its Golden Jubilee. Festivities continued into December with celebratory mainstays, holiday shopping and treats from around the world. New Year’s Eve celebrations continued beyond midnight with musical fireworks and cultural performances aligning with the start of the 2022 at eight different destinations around the globe. In February, the park rang in the Chinese New Year with wishes for health, luck and prosperity for the Year of the Tiger. Festivals held at Global Village this season also included the now renowned “Kids Fest” and the brand new “Happiness Street Fest”. Top performers from five continents performed at Global Village for its first ever Street performance festival.
