Save the dates - December 6-9, as the city's favourite festive event returns to Dubai Media City amphitheatre.

Back for its sixth edition, the Dubai Winter Festival is bigger and better this year - starting with the fact that it's a four days-long affair. Of course, there's lots to do for kids - from Santa's Grotto, and a snow play zone (with real snow too), to pantomime shows and gingerbread making workshops for the family. 

Grown-ups are equally well catered for, with a VIP Party Garden, karaoke by Lucky Voice, and live music, as well as Dubai's largest pub quiz, which is scheduled for Wednesday, the opening day. There's also snow tubing slide that's open to people of all ages!

Plus, with plenty of festive food, a Christmas market, and the giant Christmas tree that will be lit every evening, it will truly feel like Christmas come early in the sandpit! 

Tickets are priced at AED 55 for adults, AED 30 for children (certain activities and shows are separately ticketed).
