Union Properties and its subsidiary Dubai Autodrome are set to mark another major milestone with the launch of a Christmas Market at the heart of Motor City, under its new concept Autodrome Festival, followed by a landmark New Year’s Eve concert, ushering in a new phase for the venue as a fully-fledged entertainment destination that extends beyond motorsports.
For the first time ever, Dubai Autodrome, a subsidiary of Union Properties, will host a festive programme combining a Christmas Market and live music, welcoming families, friends, and communities to experience the venue in a new way, further strengthening its position as a year-round destination, combining world-class motorsport with a broader range of entertainment experiences.
This year, Union Properties & its subsidiary Dubai Autodrome are expanding their existing portfolio of large-scale events and experiences by introducing the Christmas Market from December 17 to 27, every day from 4:00 PM.
The market will feature a wide variety of attractions typically enjoyed at a festive market, including 10 food and beverage offerings, four accessory kiosks, along with several food trucks. The dedicated Kids Zone will include a snow corner, gingerbread making, face painting, bouncy castles, interactive games, and a giant inflatable screen showcasing festive and children’s movies and many more.
The festive season will culminate with a special New Year’s Eve celebration on December 31st, bringing together generations of International music talents in a single venue. The evening will feature legendary singers, marking a landmark cultural moment at Dubai Autodrome and an unforgettable way to welcome the new year.
Eng. Amer Khansaheb, Chief Executive Officer and Board Member, Union Properties, stated: “This new chapter at Dubai Autodrome embodies Union Properties’ long-term vision to evolve Motor City as a fully integrated, master-planned community where living, leisure, wellness, and entertainment blend seamlessly. Through our subsidiary Dubai Autodrome, we have also introduced a fresh new concept, Autodrome Festival, further expanding its entertainment and lifestyle offerings. The introduction of family-oriented festive experiences and live music underscores our commitment to elevating the quality of life for residents and visitors, while unlocking the full potential of this iconic destination. With similar efforts, we will continue to work towards positioning our masterplan community Motor City as one of Dubai’s most dynamic lifestyle and entertainment destinations.”
Faisal Al Sahlawi, General Manager of Dubai Autodrome, added: “Dubai Autodrome, a Union Properties subsidiary, has always represented far more than the activities that take place on the track. This festive season, under our new concept Autodrome Festival, marks an important step in our evolution as we open our doors to more community-focused experiences and live entertainment. By unlocking these new experiences at the heart of Motor City, we are creating a destination that unites communities and offers something for everyone, while staying true to our role as a landmark venue within Union Properties’ wider vision.”
The New Year’s Eve concert is restricted to audiences aged 16 and above, with tickets available exclusively through Platinumlist. Please note that tickets will not be sold at the venue.
With over two decades of hosting major international events, like the Michelin 24H Dubai endurance race, which is taking place in January 2026, the venue continues to enhance and diversify its entertainment offering alongside motorsport. The launch of the Christmas Market and New Year’s Eve concert signifies the beginning of a broader entertainment vision for Union Properties and its subsidiary Dubai Autodrome. While this season marks the inaugural edition, the company has plans in place for these experiences to return as part of an ongoing seasonal program.
Looking ahead to 2026, Union Properties and its subsidiary Dubai Autodrome will further expand their entertainment calendar with Valentine’s Day performances, a Ramadan tent, and Eid experiences, with more details to be announced in due course.
