Fireworks Show Timings
Every Friday and Saturday at 9 PM is the Global Village Fireworks Show. The show lasts 10 – 15 minutes and I promise it will leave you in awe. But it's always better to get there early, because the park gets busy, especially on weekends. Make sure you keep checking for any last minute changes to timings before you go.
Practical Tips for Visitors
To make the most of your visit to the Global Village Fireworks Show, here are a few practical tips:
- Arrive Early: The popular spots are always full 30 minutes before the show starts so make sure to get there at least 30 minutes before the show starts to get a good spot to view from.
- Check the Weather: The weather in Dubai can turn on its head at any time. You should always check the forecast and dress accordingly. You'd better have a light jacket if it's a cooler evening.
- Stay Hydrated and Bring Snacks: Fireworks watching can be an exciting and long undertaking. Also, make sure you keep hydrated and bring some snacks to take along with you while you wait.
- Plan Your Transportation: If you are coming on a weekend it can get crowded at Global Village. Major roads or parks will likely have significant parking (visitors become pains when parking costs are $10 – $15/day), so use public transportation or plan ahead. It’s worth considering arriving early enough to dodge the unnecessary hassle of finding a spot.
- Respect the Crowd: Be aware of other visitors that want to view the show too. Do not stand directly in front of people who have probably already staked out their spot.
Dubai’s most awaited event is Global Village Fireworks Show, which is a great combination of music and fireworks that anyone of any age can enjoy. The show happens every Friday and Saturday at 9 PM and it’s the perfect way to put a cap on your weekend in Dubai.
