JBR ALL SET TO WOW

Live bands, parades, roaming performers, and a larger-than-life Rubik’s Cube – nope, we’re not sending you to some quirky international carnival. All of this is going to be right here in Dubai, at the second season of Jumeirah Beach Residence’s popular #WOWJBR festival.

Over 20 weeks, the neighbourhood will be your go-to for all things fun: and this massive dose of entertainment, art and music is all for free. Along the 1.7-km promenade is a photo wall to indulge your selfie mania, there’ll be an outdoor cinema, and even a 10-day music festival. Each month is themed too: There’s a Carnival theme that will take you straight to the lively lands of Latin America in November. There’s a Festive theme in time for UAE National Day celebrations and all the winter fun and festivities in December. Then there’s the Mind and Soul theme, in January – get your dose of wellness. February will see an International theme coinciding with the Chinese New Year - look out for the fiery spectacular Dragon Dance – while March will hail the Arts, with installations, roaming art displays and even a food festival to whet your global appetites.

It’s time to clap along to the beat.
