Al Rigga road was transformed into a street of festivities as 120 performers, dressed in spectacular costumes and accompanied by music, paraded down one of Dubai’s best known avenues over the weekend. Throughout the 15th edition of DSF, till February 28, various entertainment shows are being organized for families and visitors.      

Al Rigga Street is now home to a variety of shows for one month including street musicians, tanoura dancers, and carnival performers displaying their amazing talents. Musicians, jugglers, stilt walkers, balloon benders, look-alikes, fire blowers, and street bands 

Other activities fill the whole street of Al Rigga as well. There are kiosks for face painting, ceramic workshops and caricature making. Food stalls keep the people in Al Rigga busy and full at the same time. More so, there are two fun fair areas dedicated for the DSF celebration. The breathtaking rides and fun games are now available in both ends of the road.

Al Rigga is now a must-see not only for its residents and tourists. People must visit the place in order to catch the surprises and wonderful activities all throughout. The daily festivities start from 5pm until 11pm on weekdays, and extend up to 12am during weekends.
