Global Village, Season 31

Global Village is the other half of Dubai's outdoor season. Ripe Market is a weekend habit; Global Village is open every evening for seven months, with pavilions given over to countries and regions from across the world.

Season 31 dates and hours

The park reopens on Wednesday 14 October 2026 and runs into May 2027; it has not yet named the closing day. It opens at 4pm every day and closes at midnight from Sunday to Wednesday and at 1am from Thursday to Saturday and on public holidays. Tuesdays, public holidays aside, are kept for families, couples and women.

Tickets

Season 31 prices have not been published: the park says tickets will be available later, and only its VIP Packs are on sale so far.

What is there

Pavilions of food, crafts and goods from across the world, stage shows every evening and a funfair. The park's line for this season is an invitation to “a more wonderful world”.

Getting there from Riviera

A drive, not a walk: Global Village is in Dubailand, off Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, about ten kilometres south of Meydan as the crow flies.

The same season, elsewhere

For a weekend morning rather than a weeknight, Ripe Market is at Police Academy Park every Saturday and Sunday until 2 May; and from 6 November the racing season at Meydan brings the evenings back to Riviera's doorstep.
