Oct 14 Opening Set for Seven-Month Global Village Season 31 Run
Global Village will officially welcome visitors back to its Dubai destination on October 14, 2026. Operating under the theme ‘A More Wonderful World’, Season 31 will run for over seven months, stretching through May 2027.
Seven Months of Entertainment and a Final Vendor Deadline
The extended season brings back the destination’s regular mix of international dining, live entertainment, and shopping attractions. While park operators prepare new additions to the lineup, local food and beverage concepts face an immediate deadline to secure a spot on this year’s layout.
F&B businesses planning to operate at the destination have until September 16, 2026, to submit their applications. Registration is open across two main categories: ‘Restaurant and Coffee Shops’ and ‘Kiosks and Food Trolleys’. Participating vendors receive full operational support, including customisable set-ups, visa assistance, customs processing for imported products, storage facilities, and electronic payment terminals.
The upcoming launch follows a landmark 30th season that wrapped up on May 31, 2026, after a three-week extension for the Eid Al Adha holidays. Season 30 managed through an unusual disruption, remaining closed for more than 51 days due to regional tensions before reopening on April 20, 2026. Despite the pause, the previous season featured 30 pavilions representing over 90 cultures, more than 3,500 shopping outlets, 250 dining spots, and 40,500 performances alongside 200 rides and games at Carnaval.
Global Village has welcomed millions of guests from across the UAE and beyond since its establishment in 1997.
