Global Village Sets October 14 Return for Season 31

The return signals a recovery for the event and will shape visitor and vendor plans for the coming winter season.

Overview

  • Organisers announced on Monday that Season 31 will open on October 14, 2026 and run through May 2027 under the theme 'A More Wonderful World'.
  • Several popular Season 30 attractions are expected to return, including Gardens of the World, Dragon Kingdom and The Little Wonderers at Carnaval.
  • Organisers say the season will introduce a number of new immersive and 'thrilling' additions, though full details will be released closer to opening.
  • Food and beverage vendor registration is open now with a final deadline of September 16, 2026, and applicants are offered end-to-end support such as customizable set-ups, visa help, customs assistance, storage and payment terminals.
  • Global Village began as a small Creekside kiosk market in the late 1990s and grew into a major Dubailand attraction; Season 30 closed on May 31, 2026 after a three-week extension following an earlier 51-day disruption due to regional tensions.
