The Festival of Lights has arrived in Dubai, and BurJuman Mall is shining brighter than ever. Kicking off a month-long celebration on September 26, Jhilmil Diwali is transforming the mall into an expansive cultural gathering place where the Indian community and residents can connect with tradition, enjoy live music, and win big. This event isn’t just about shopping; it’s a vibrant, immersive embrace of the festive spirit.
Diwali in Dubai is increasingly moving beyond simple décor to focus on authentic cultural experiences. BurJuman is leading this trend by introducing the Baithaks to its main atrium for the very first time.
Every Saturday from 6 PM to 9 PM, the space will transform into an intimate setting for live performances. Guests can sit back and enjoy the soulful sounds of traditional Indian music, featuring genres like ghazals and thumris, played live on instruments like the sitar and tabla. These thoughtful performances echo the community gatherings that make Diwali so meaningful, offering a piece of true heritage in a modern setting.
The festive atmosphere continues throughout the week. Fridays feature lively family game nights with favorites like antakshari and quizzes, ensuring lighthearted fun for all generations. On Sundays, the energy spills onto the floor with roaming dhol drummers and traditional dance performances, bringing spontaneous bursts of festivity to shoppers.
Jhilmil Diwali is designed to meet every festive need, from finding the perfect gift to creating personalized decorations.
- Jhilmil Diwali Bazaar: Running from October 1 to 20, Level 2 hosts 20+ kiosks offering a wide mix of products. Shoppers can browse artisan décor, handcrafted diyas and lanterns, apparel, and dry goods, creating a vibrant marketplace that captures the essence of Diwali shopping.
- Cultural Workshops: Throughout the campaign, families can join free workshops in the main atrium. These hands-on activities include diya painting, rangoli design, henna art, and lantern crafting, allowing both children and adults to add a personal touch to their celebrations.
- The Mega Raffle: The Spend & Win digital raffle offers a compelling reward: the chance to win a SOUEAST S06 Family Luxury SUV. Shoppers simply need to spend AED 250 or more across the mall (excluding Carrefour and utilities) to enter, with one mega winner crowned at the end of Diwali week.
This integrated approach to retail and culture ensures that BurJuman Mall is the ultimate destination for the South Asian community and all residents celebrating Diwali in Dubai.
BurJuman Mall has fused rewarding retail with authentic Indian music and community fun to create the definitive Diwali celebration this October. Don’t miss the Baithaks, the Bazaar, and your chance to win a luxury car. Join the Jhilmil Diwali festivities with your loved ones between September 26 and October 22!
