Emaar's Burj Dubai Boulevard hosts 'Market Weekend'

The event is part of an ongoing activity calendar to bring Burj Dubai Boulevard to life and showcase Downtown Burj Dubai as the new downtown of the city.

The 'Market Weekend' at Burj Dubai Boulevard will feature several stalls offering an array of products, from to arts and crafts to jewellery. Three established Jazz bands will perform 30 minute-long sets and a number of food and beverage outlets will cater for varied tastes.

"Emaar Properties demonstrates the evolution of lifestyle living in Dubai," said Mr Saif Al Mansoori, Sales Director, Emaar Properties. "The 'Market Weekend' exemplifies Emaar's innovative approach to engage the city's community, illustrating the type of retail offerings will be available in and around Burj Dubai Boulevard upon its official completion."

Entry to Burj Dubai Boulevard is free, and is open on Friday, December 14, and Saturday December 15, from 2 to 10pm.

The Dhs73bn ($20bn) Downtown Burj Dubai is the flagship mega project of Emaar Properties and encompasses residential, commercial, hospitality and leisure components set around an expansive lake and the boulevard. At the centre of the development is Burj Dubai, the world's tallest tower. Several residences with Downtown Burj Dubai have already been handed over to residents and three hotels have started functioning within the master-development.
