Public holiday. Fireworks, flags, and mall hours that shift. Confirm the school/office closure with your employer, not a group chat.

Not a ticket shop. Always buy on the organiser site. Dates move — that is why this page re-reads official calendars once a day (Visit Dubai still has the full consumer listings).
