City Walk, the design-inspired open-air lifestyle destination by Meraas, continues to celebrate the 24th Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) with its signature event – Streets Meet the City.

City Walk brings you the best urban vibes this DSF with street culture, art, live entertainment and an artisan market. You can drum up some fun beats, get creative with paint, play a variety of throwback board games, and shake a leg with hip-hop artists and break dancers across two stages. The two-day event is happening along Al Mustaqbal Street and is jam-packed with fun activities for the whole family.

At the Music Zone, you can join a community drum circle led by professional musicians, who are certain to take you on an emotional journey. If you fancy exploring your artistic skills, you can try out freestyle painting at the Creative Zone.

Don’t forget to take a trip down memory lane at the Game Zone, where you can play all your favourite board games from the 90’s, or watch local beatbox, R&B and hip-hop artists put on a fabulous show on the main stage.

As part of ’Streets Meet the City’, the market area on Al Mustaqbal Street is hosting a variety of artisan stalls showcasing home-made products and pieces by local artists. You can also check out the latest offerings from Le BHV Marais, Urban Decay, Seif Pharmacy, Galerie Hindam, WHSmith, Geek Nation, Galleria Luxury Visions, Lilis Boutique, The Den and Roger & Gallet.

Fuel up at food kiosks from your favourite eateries, such as Mousse au Chocolat, Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet, Aubaine, Sweet Salvation, Clinton Street Baking Company, Belgium Waffles and The Carving Board, set up around the market area.

Adding an urban flair to DSF this year, City Walk is the perfect spot for all your shopping needs, with great deals across the destination. While you browse through the wide range of bargains on offer, your children can spend time at the dedicated visual art zone, compose street poetry, or expend their energy skateboarding or dancing.
