Dubai’s Global Village will open Season 31 on 14 October 2026, running through May 2027, according to The National and Gulf News. The winter entertainment staple returns under the theme “A More Wonderful World”.
Global Village Season 31 opening date
Organisers confirmed the park reopens on 14 October 2026. Gulf News reports the season continues until May 2027. The National’s same-day coverage says the open-air park opens on 14 October and closes for the summer in May.
The destination sits near Exit 37 on Sheikh Zayed Road. It first opened in 1997 as a smaller creek-side setup and has since become a fixture of Dubai’s cooler months.
Season 31 follows Global Village’s Season 31 F&B registration window, which tbreak covered when operators were invited to apply via the business portal.
Theme and what is confirmed so far
Gulf News says Season 31 is themed “A More Wonderful World”. Organisers have not published a full list of new attractions. A statement cited by The National said the season would “welcome guests with a number of thrilling additions and ways to experience Global Village in unique ways,” with further announcements expected before opening.
For context, Season 30 featured 30 pavilions representing more than 90 cultures, more than 3,500 shopping outlets, and up to 200 rides and games. Additions expected to return include Gardens of the World, Dragon Kingdom, and The Little Wonderers at Carnaval, alongside an expanded Main Stage, extended Fiesta Street, and the Dessert District.
