- Competition honours generations of family memories across the UAE.

Old photo albums, early camera phones, and childhood snapshots are suddenly front and center again. As Global Village marks its milestone Season 30, the iconic multicultural destination is calling on its original supporters with the launch of the Global Village OG Fans competition, a heartfelt tribute to the families who have grown up alongside one of Dubai’s most loved landmarks.
Running from February 9 to 13, 2026, the initiative invites UAE residents to dig out their oldest Global Village photos and share them via Instagram. Whether it is a grainy picture from your first visit as a child or a throwback from your parents’ early days in Dubai, every memory counts. Winners will be announced on February 15 through Global Village’s official Instagram, with selected fans receiving an exclusive Season 30 VIP Pack to experience what is being celebrated as the Biggest Season Yet.
The idea behind the campaign is simple but powerful. Global Village has always been more than a destination. It is where families reunited after busy weeks, where school holidays turned into cultural adventures, and where generations discovered food, fashion, and performances from around the world. This competition shines a light on those shared moments, honoring the past while welcoming new visitors into the story.
Taking part is easy. Fans just need to follow Global Village on Instagram, comment on the competition reel while tagging two friends, and send their oldest Global Village photo through direct messages. All submissions must be original and personally owned, keeping the focus on real memories rather than curated content.
At a time when nostalgia-driven experiences are trending globally, the OG Fans competition taps into something deeply personal. People are craving meaningful connections to places that shaped their childhoods and family traditions. Global Village answers that call by turning personal archives into a community celebration, reminding everyone how cultural spaces can become emotional landmarks over time.
Season 30 itself continues to raise the bar, blending international pavilions, live entertainment, dining, shopping, and family attractions into one vibrant experience. But this campaign proves that what truly sets Global Village apart is its relationship with its audience. From first-time visitors to lifelong fans, every guest becomes part of a collective memory bank that keeps growing year after year.
By spotlighting real photos and real stories, Global Village reinforces its role as a place where cultures meet and memories are made, one season at a time.
Share your throwback, celebrate your story, and be part of Global Village’s Season 30 legacy!
