- Carols by Candlelight is Expo City Dubai’s much-awaited yearly festive concert. Under the magical dome of Al Wasl Plaza, enjoy timeless carols and the enchanting sounds of the Firdaus Orchestra, bringing joy and festive cheer to families and visitors of all ages. Everyone joins together, singing along and sharing in the warmth and magic of the season.
This year, when it seems the magic couldn’t grow any brighter, the Candy Cane Comet falters, crashing softly into the heart of Winter City. Its glow fades and the air stills until the children, guided by Santa and inspired by their belief, come together to restore it. Piece by piece, their wonder and song bring the light back, brighter than ever, filling Winter City and Carols by Candlelight with joy, music, and the true spirit of the season.

Keep an eye out for surprise appearances from Santa and Mrs. Claus! 
*A ticket for Carols by Candlelight includes admission to the Winter City event at Expo City Dubai. Kindly present your Carols by Candlelight ticket at the Winter City entrance for event access. Please note that entry to Winter City is valid only on the same day as the Carols by Candlelight ticket purchase.
