Dandiya Night 2026 in Dubai

About Dandiya Night 2026 in Dubai

Dandiya Night brings Bollywood Dandiya beats to Dubai on Sunday 18 October 2026, with the party taking over Headlines Premier by Citrus in Dubai Marina. Things get going at 8pm, and the plan for the evening is clear: dance, dress up and celebrate with your friends.

The venue sits on the 31st floor of the Stella Di Mare Hotel, so the night comes with Dubai Marina views as a backdrop. Between DJ Zeal on the decks, live routines from the Citrus Dance Crew and a competition for the best dancers and best-dressed guests, there’s plenty to keep you on your feet.

If Dandiya is a big part of your festive season, this is a handy way to celebrate close to home. If you’re new to it, the friendly party mood makes it an easy one to join in with. Just bring your energy and your best moves.

What to Expect

Expect a lively evening built around music, dancing and a bit of friendly competition. Here’s what’s on the programme.

DJ Zeal on the Decks

DJ Zeal is in charge of the music, playing Bollywood Dandiya beats through the night. It’s the soundtrack for the dance floor, so expect plenty of reasons to grab your sticks and join the circle.

Citrus Dance Crew

The Citrus Dance Crew will put on live performances during the evening. Their routines add a bit of showtime to the night and give everyone a breather between turns on the dance floor.

Best Dance and Best Dressed Competition

Fancy showing off? Enter the competition for the best dance and the best outfit for a chance to win food and beverage vouchers. It’s a good excuse to put real thought into your outfit and practise a few steps beforehand.

Two Ways to Book

There are two booking options. You can go for Entry + 1 Beverage, or choose Unlimited Buffet + 1 Beverage if you’d like to eat as part of the night. The buffet dining overlooks Dubai Marina, which makes it a nice option if you want to settle in for the evening.

Key Highlights

• Bollywood Dandiya music from DJ Zeal
• Live performances by the Citrus Dance Crew
• A best dance and best dressed competition with food and beverage vouchers to be won
• Choice of Entry + 1 Beverage or Unlimited Buffet + 1 Beverage
• Dubai Marina views from the 31st floor of the Stella Di Mare Hotel

The Venue: Headlines Premier by Citrus

Headlines Premier by Citrus is on the 31st floor of the Stella Di Mare Hotel in Dubai Marina, on Al Mattla’ee Street. Its height gives the room views over the Marina, which you’ll notice especially if you book the buffet option.

When you arrive, head to the hotel and make your way up to the 31st floor. If you’re meeting friends, it helps to agree on a spot in the hotel lobby first so nobody gets lost on the way up.

Visitor Tips

Getting There

By car, drive towards Dubai Marina along Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and follow the signs to Stella Di Mare Dubai Marina Hotel on Al Mattla’ee Street. Using GPS is a good idea, as the Marina roads can be confusing. On the metro, take the Red Line to DMCC station and walk for about 5 to 10 minutes. By taxi, ask to be dropped at Stella Di Mare Dubai Marina Hotel. Sunday evening traffic around the Marina can build up, so allow time for the journey.

What to Bring

Bring your ticket on your phone and, if you have them, your own Dandiya sticks. Comfortable shoes are worth thinking about, as you’ll likely be dancing for a good part of the night. A small bag is easier to manage on the dance floor.

Dress Code

The organisers encourage guests to dress for the occasion, and with a best dressed competition on the programme, it’s the night to bring out your festive best. Bright colours and traditional outfits will fit right in.

Booking Policy

Bookings are non-cancellable and non-changeable, so check your date and your chosen option before you confirm. Anything not listed as included in your booking is not part of the package.

Arrive Early

The evening starts at 8pm. Getting there on time gives you a chance to settle in, find your friends and be ready when the music kicks off.
