Dubai's Global Village to host 7 New Year's fireworks

UAE residents and visitors can usher in the New Year 2021 with seven fireworks displays at Dubai’s Global Village.

Global Village offers a combination of shopping, delicious dining and entertainment attractions. As ever, the highlight this year is the seven fireworks displays that will light up the skies when the New Year officially begins in seven countries around the world.

Shaun Cornell, Director of Entertainment at Global Village, said: “Celebrations begin at 4pm with shopping, dining and great entertainment. This year is, of course, a special one with many people having to stay apart from their loved ones, so providing a safe and welcoming environment for families to celebrate together is all the more important.”

Guests can take advantage of a special New Year Carnival offer by purchasing a wrist band which gives unlimited access to rides for the whole night. The same wrist band will also offer 2 for 1 chances to test themselves in the skill games, doubling their chances to go home a winner with a huge soft toy prize.

Rides will continue to operate at reduced capacity, with each seating fully sanitised before and after use. Wristbands can be purchased for Dh150 online and Junior wristbands (for kids up to 1m30) for Dh110.
