Everything That Went Down at the Dubai Marina Street Festival

Dubai Marina Street Festival 2018 near the Dubai Marina Mall

Did you say free entertainment for the weekend? Then this post is for you! As you know, the 8th annual Dubai Marina Street Festival once again kicked off last March 15 and every afternoon until the 24th, there are different performances happening across 9 pitches along the strip of Dubai Marina Walk.

#DMStreetFest Show Schedule

The shows usually start between 3:15pm until 10:30pm depending on the date. During the weekdays, shows start at 5:30pm to give way for those who work and students who go to school - yes, the show is free for all ages! Weekend show starts earlier.

Fire Breathing Show from Poland
Limited Edition from Canada

Groovy Guy from U

Behind-the-scenes of Dubai Marina Street Festival

I went during the weekends and I was amazed not only with the performers but also with the crowd. How often do you see street theatre and get the audience to be involved in the act?

Every show I watched from Pitch 1 to 9, the actors always end it with a huge thank you with the audience because as how they put it, 'The most important part of the play is you."

Here's a round-up of the photos I captured over the weekend, I hope to you see you around during the next weekend too!
