Dubai Shopping Festival is coming back for its 23rd year, and there are tonnes of reasons to get excited. DSF 2019 is kicking off with a 12-hour sale.
This year, the huge, city-wide retail event will be taking place from Tuesday, December 26 until Saturday, January 27. This year, there’s a lot going on.
DSF kicked off back in 1996 when His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, wanted to launch a world-class retail event that will attract visitors from around the world. Well, nearly 22 years on and the festival continues to draw in almost 5 million tourists every year.
The last couple of years have seen record levels of generosity too, with DSF dishing out a whopping Dhs100 million of prizes for lucky punters, and even a jackpot prize of Dhs1 million given away to one winner.
To help you stave off any post-Christmas blues, DSF 2018 is expected to bring even more enormous discounts, prizes, giveaways and more.

Interesting things to do during DSF
So what happens if shopping isn’t really your scene? DSF is celebrated like any other festival in Dubai: with pomp and show. Which means, the shopping isn’t the only experience to please your soul. There exist a plethora of activities that go on here which you could participate in, apart from shopping.
- Fireworks happen almost every day in major parks like Creek Park and Zabeel Park. Once you’re here to watch the lovely fireworks, arrive a bit early since there would be a ton of activities and other things to do here. Winter months make it ideal for anyone to stay in the park for a picnic; so while you’re in the park, you can participate in loads of activities organized for kids, magic shows, food tasting carnival, face painting, etc.
- Throughout the emirate, you’d get to see lots of impressive street plays and live shows by artists and musicians. There are also parades that take place in the downtown area where you’d feel a colorful and vibrant atmosphere.
- In malls too, there would be various things to do other than shopping. Flash mobs and fashion shows are regular in every mall. In Dubai Mall, the ice rink gets converted to a fashion show ramp. There would be various game shows held in every other mall where you’d be able to win prizes.
- All around the city, from hotels to malls, from parks to resorts, from landmark destinations to the downtown area, various workshops and exhibitions are held. Celebrity meet and greet are also organized for the public. Besides all this, perhaps one of the main highlights are the raffle draws that take place every day at every mall. Where the lucky winners can take home cars, cash, home appliances, gift vouchers or even gold.
- If this much isn’t enough, the major film festivals like Dubai International Film Festival and Children’s International Film Festival is usually held around that period, so watch these movies and catch your favorite stars attending press conferences or even as they walk the red carpet.
- DSF truly teaches one to embrace and celebrate the shopping lifestyle with vehemence. It offers everyone a bouquet of a diverse range of activities, offers, and happiness. This is one of the times where the entire emirate is bustling with vibrant vibes and energy!
