Events

Dubai’s calendar never sits still, and this section keeps up with it. DXB Talk’s Events guides cover the dates every resident marks first — UAE National Day and Eid Al Etihad in December, New Year’s Eve under the Burj Khalifa fireworks — plus the season-long favourites like Global Village, the Dubai Fitness Challenge and the Rugby Sevens, and the festive markets that take over the city each winter. Each guide focuses on what you actually need to know: where to watch, how to book, what things cost, how to get there and how to enjoy it on a budget or with kids in tow. Big announcements land through the season, so check the guides below before you make plans — and browse the full collection for festivals and celebrations from every community in the city.Start with these guides:The Complete Guide to UAE National Day 2026 in Dubai: Eid Al Etihad Events and CelebrationsWhere to Watch UAE National Day Fireworks in Dubai: The Best Viewing SpotsThe Complete Guide to New Year’s Eve 2026 in DubaiGlobal Village Dubai Season 31: The Complete Guide to Tickets, Pavilions, Food and ShowsDubai Rugby Sevens: The Ultimate Fan Guide to the Festival Weekend at The Sevens StadiumDubai Fitness Challenge: Free Workouts and Fitness Villages Across the CityChristmas in Dubai 2026: Festive Markets, Santa Experiences and Winter Celebrations
