As part of the monumental 30th edition celebrations of the iconic annual Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), residents and visitors have one final chance to send in their personalised messages and witness them light up the city skies through DSF’s cutting-edge drone technology on 13 December 2024, for one full week.

Today, 11 December, is the last day for everyone across the city to submit their messages via @DubaiFestivals Instagram, or by scanning a special QR code in the sky that will be displayed as part ofDSF’s breathtaking twice-daily drone shows presented by Emarat at Bluewaters Island and The Beach, JBR. With a fleet of over 1,000 drones taking over the iconic destinations every day at 8pm and 10pm, this spectacular experience has become a must-see experience, showcasing awe-inspiring themes that honour Dubai’s rich heritage and bold, future-forward vision. The clock is ticking; this is the final chance for everyone across the city to leave a lasting mark on this historic celebration and watch it brought to life in a sensational spectacle.

Adding to the excitement of personalised messages coming to life, DSF will launch groundbreaking firework-drones for the first-time ever in the festival’s history twice in a special show on the evening on 13 December. 150 firework-drones will merge innovative pyrotechnics with state-of-the-art drone technology at 8pm and 10pm, accompanied by jaw-dropping skydiving stunts, and a phenomenal fireworks finish. This groundbreaking showcase promises to redefine entertainment in Dubai and create memories to last a lifetime.
