Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) is bringing a whole lot of fun this winter! Happening from December 5, 2025, to January 11, 2026, the festival will be packed with events, deals, and entertainment for everyone. But if there’s one thing you absolutely don’t want to miss, it’s DSF Drone Show happening every evening at Bluewaters and The Beach JBR.
At 8 PM and 10 PM each night, over 1,000 LED drones light up the sky with dazzling shapes, colors, and even some pyro effects. It’s an activity that’s perfect for the whole family. And with two different shows every evening, you get to experience something new each time.
The first show, Dubai City of Dreams, begins at 8 PM. It’s a journey through Dubai’s iconic landmarks with a soundtrack that includes music by Hans Zimmer.
The second show, Celebrations, starts at 10 PM. It’s all about color, movement, and energy, with drone formations set to festive music.
This year, both shows have been upgraded with faster movements, brighter lights, and brand-new pyro effects, so it’s definitely going to be something to remember.
When coming to Bluewaters for DSF Drone Show, keep in mind that the area can get pretty busy around showtimes, so it’s a good idea to arrive early to grab a great spot. Traffic can also be tricky, so plan ahead.
If you’re spending this winter in the city, check out other free events like DIFC Sculpture Park, which is open until May 2026 and offers a great place to wander around and admire the art. Plus, there are plenty of Christmas tree lightings in Dubai that are perfect for getting into the festive spirit.
Stay tuned for more updates on all the events and happenings in the city this winter! You’ll find no shortage of things to enjoy.
