Khaleej Times reported that the festival will take place at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in South Halls 1 and 2 of Expo City Dubai. The event is expected to bring together families, artists, food vendors and community members for a celebration of Palestinian culture and heritage in the UAE. It has been described as one of the largest such gatherings in the country and entry is free upon advance registration.
Organizers have lined up performances by prominent Palestinian figures including singer Mohammed Assaf who will headline the musical portion of the program. Comedy acts by Imad Farajeen and Mohammed Al-Tayti will deliver humorous segments filled with Palestinian memories while DJ Zee is set to energize the crowd with uplifting sets. These elements combine to create a vibrant atmosphere that highlights cultural pride and community unity.
The registration process requires participants to provide basic information such as name, email, nationality and contact details before receiving a QR code for entry at the gate. This procedure helps manage the anticipated large turnout and ensures smooth access to the venue. Similar registration methods have been successfully employed for other Emirates Loves events focused on different nationalities.
This cultural initiative builds on previous solidarity efforts including a December 2025 gathering at Expo City Dubai where thousands volunteered to pack 10 million meals for Gaza as detailed by The National. That campaign was spurred by a public call from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum emphasizing the UAE’s commitment to the Palestinian people. The latest event continues this tradition of fostering connections between Emirati and Palestinian communities.
Comparable festivals such as the Emirates Loves Pakistan celebration held earlier in 2026 at the same location featured similar blends of music, culture, food and family activities. These recurring programs underscore Dubai’s role as a hub for multicultural engagement and heritage promotion across various communities. Attendance at the Palestine-focused day is anticipated to be substantial given the interest shown on social media platforms.
Additional details from event promoters indicate that visitors can expect displays of traditional Palestinian crafts and cuisine alongside folk music performances. The full-day program is designed to allow ample time for attendees to engage with all aspects of the festival. Organizers have urged the public to complete registration promptly due to limited capacity.
