Al Seef, the creek waterfront destination by Meraas, is set to unveil its new seasonal programme, Al Seef Creek Festival, that will enable residents and visitors to experience a true carnival atmosphere along the much-loved Dubai Creek.

The quaint hub alongside the picturesque Dubai Creek will wear a carnival vibe with its colourful festive décor, waterfront market, vibrant live music, funfair rides and games, popcorn and candy floss. Whether your favourite pastime involves shopping, dining, or spending quality time with your loved ones, Al Seef Creek Festival will have you covered.

During the celebration, visitors can enjoy a brand-new shopping experience at the beautifully decorated Waterfront Market with its plethora of stalls selling home-grown products such as traditional handicrafts, home décor, souvenirs, accessories, and jewellery.

The fun-packed family-friendly celebration will feature a variety of entertainment options, such as colourful rides and carnival games that offer you the chance to win soft toys and other adorable gifts. In addition, customers will receive complimentary carnival rides and games ticket for every AED100 spent on shopping or dining at Al Seef.

Street musicians and magicians will entertain visitors with surprise acts across Al Seef’s retail and dining outlets.

Kids aged between 3 and 12 can enjoy all their favourite inflatables and games at the Soft Play Area.

If that’s not enough excitement, from November the Farm Petting Zoo at the carnival will allow children and adults to interact with friendly animals, such as rabbits, lambs, hens, and camels. Kids can also enjoy a pony, camel, or donkey ride.

All children’s activities will take place under professional supervision to ensure the safety of the little visitors.

What’s more, every Thursday throughout the festival, the destination will host a complimentary kids’ movie screening under the stars as part of the Thursday Outdoor Movie Night. The casual bean bags seating arrangement and snack carts serving ice cream and popcorn are sure to please all the young movie buffs.

Friday Music Night will bring live performances of Arab and western music to Al Seef. As part of this activation, the destination is also set to hold a Battle of the Bands contest that will invite young amateur artists to compete for prizes.

True to its promise of being an inclusive destination that offers something to engage all of its multicultural visitors, Al Seef will revamp its theme, decorations, and offerings to match the Indian festival of Diwali, UAE Flag Day, UAE National Day, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve.

In addition to the fun, games and shopping, Al Seef Creek Festival will provide the perfect opportunity to indulge in delicious treats overlooking the beautiful creek– and burn off those extra calories by walking around the destination’s many attractions.
