Global Village, the multicultural family destination that forms part of Dubai Holding Entertainment, is set to open its gates this Monday, April 20, 2026, from 5:00 PM, marking the start of Season 30.
The park, which bills itself as the region’s destination for entertainment, dining, shopping and attractions, will operate daily from 5:00 PM to 12:00 AM throughout the season.
Since its founding in 1997, Global Village has welcomed over 100 million guests through its gates. Season 29 set a record, drawing 10.5 million visitors – a figure that has reinforced the park’s position as what it describes as “the region’s premier multicultural family destination.”

Season 30 builds on that foundation. The park will host 30 pavilions representing over 90 cultures, with more than 3,500 shopping outlets and over 250 dining options on offer.
The park’s programme for Season 30 includes 450 performers appearing across 40,500 shows throughout the season. Guests visiting the Carnaval section of the site will have access to over 200 rides and games, which Global Village says makes it home to “the largest and most diverse range of events, shows, shopping and dining experiences” in the region.
Global Village says its central purpose remains the bringing together of cultures, communities and families. “Global Village continues to bring cultures, communities and families together through shared experiences during Season 30,” the park said in a statement ahead of the reopening.
