City Walk Unplugged Returns for Its 4th Season with Six Weeks of Live Music and Festive Magic

This year, City Walk Unplugged Season 4 returns with a new spirit during the Dubai Shopping Festival, transforming into a vibrant six-week festival that celebrates the universal language of music. Visitors can look forward to a mix of regional and local artists, with acoustic acts, bands, vocal performers and DJs appearing across the destination every weekend, along with special shows on festive dates including Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Each week will offer its own atmosphere and lineup, giving guests something new to experience throughout the season.

Beyond the main stage, City Walk will come alive with roaming performances and specially choreographed dance shows that bring movement and colour to the indoor Courtyard, the fountain area and other key zones across the destination. The festive mood will be enhanced by seasonal festive installations, including the signature Christmas Tree at the fountain, decorative structures across all entrances and activation areas and elevated décor throughout the C2 licensed dining district.

As part of the celebrations, visitors can also take part in City Walk’s Dubai Shopping Festival Spend and WIN promotion, giving them the chance to enter a raffle to win an ARCFOX Alpha S. On spend of AED 300 or more at any City Walk participating outlet using the TICKIT Rewards App, shoppers are automatically entered into the draw. Running throughout the festive period, the promotion adds an exciting touch to the season as shoppers explore the destination’s dining, retail and entertainment experiences ( T&Cs apply).

With a six-week programme of live entertainment starting 6pm supported by festive décor and a variety of dining options and retail DSF offerings, City Walk Unplugged invites residents and visitors to enjoy the season in an open-air setting where music and atmosphere come together in the heart of the city:
