Dubai, UAE: Mark your calendars for enchanting evenings at JBR The Walk with the much-awaited return of its signature JBR Winter Nights. Kicking off on 18 October, the iconic promenade will celebrate the upcoming season with its signature wonder and whimsy.
Running until 31 December, JBR Winter Nights brings back its rich calendar of open-invite al fresco movie nights, captivating parades and live performances, games, hands-on crafting fun for little ones and—perhaps the destination’s greatest draw—its stretch of casual and upscale dining spot serving cuisines from all corners of the world.
This year’s Winter Nights hub at JBR’s Rimal Sector will take visitors back to the past with a touch of vintage Broadway cinema magic. Adorned with themed decorations and installations that will evolve throughout the season, the experience will celebrate special occasions like Halloween, Diwali, Union Day, the Festive Season, and New Year’s Eve with dedicated movie screenings, live performances, arts workshops and more.
