Shoppiesta, the first ever consumer lifestyle fair in the region, will be an Official Event of the upcoming ‘Eid in Dubai’ celebrations. Now on its fourth year, the ‘Eid in Dubai – Eid al Fitr’ festivities is organised by the Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment (DEPE), an agency of the Department of Economic Development (DED), and is becoming an increasingly popular social festivity that includes several mega events set to enthral Dubai residents and visitors this year around.
The event, organised by Citron, a Dubai-based Events, Marketing & Communication company, is slated to feature five days of shopping, entertainment, adventure sports, daily concerts and dining for the entire family. Shoppiesta will be held during the five-day Eid Al-Fitr holidays in September at Meydan, one of the most happening destination venues in Dubai. This unique event will see leading retailers, brands and service providers bring an array of offerings for both visitors and tourists alike.
During each of the five feature-filled days, Shoppiesta will have concerts from 9pm onwards, based on the below schedule:
