Halloween is here and this time, the spookiness has gone all the way to one of Dubai’s iconic landmarks. The Bluewaters Island is hosting a spooky Halloween party from 31 October to 2 November and there’s a little something for everyone. Here’s what’s in store!
What’s It?
Kids can enjoy an exciting calendar of events everyday from 3:00 pm -9:00 pm. From a Little Ghost workshop for spooky arts and crafts, to a Witch’s Den with face painting and a balloon artist, kids can keep themselves busy while having fun. Besides, Ghoulish characters such as ghosts, witches and pumpkin heads will be roaming around the island, adding to the spookiness. Children can also enjoy games at centrally located stalls.
Just as you gear up for a stunning sunset, a one-of-its-kind Halloween Parade will kick off at 5:00 pm. The parade will start off from The Beach and will go down all the way to the Bluewaters. And what’s Halloween without Trick or Treat!
Little ones can go on a Trick or Treat Trail, at 6:00 pm on Thursday and 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm on Friday. The trail will have multiple pitstops at Bluewaters’ most popular outlets along the way, where treats (and maybe some tricks!) will be dished out for the children.
Wait, its not over yet! There’s also a ‘best dressed’ competition hosted by Bluewaters Island through the weekend. So make sure look as spooky as you can. To win the competition, take a photo of any of the Spooky Wonders Corners and tag @bluewatersdubai with the hashtag #CreateSpookyWonders.
