Dubai Police host family-friendly New Year’s Eve festivities across the city

Dubai Police will roll out a series of festive, educational and entertainment activities for families on New Year’s Eve 2026, in collaboration with strategic partners, as part of efforts to combine celebration with community engagement and public awareness.

Events will take place in Naif and along Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, offering residents and visitors interactive experiences that highlight Dubai Police’s security, traffic and community services in a family-friendly setting.

At Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Dubai Police will host the Your Safety, Our Happiness exhibition under the theme Celebrating New Year’s Eve in the spirit of security and innovation.

The family carnival will begin at 5pm and feature a range of activities for children, including creative workshops, a free drawing corner, face painting and a candle-making station. Safety and awareness messages will be delivered in engaging, age-appropriate formats.

Children attending the event will also benefit from a special contribution by Khalid Children’s Magazine, issued by Dubai Police’s Security Media Department. Young visitors will receive police-themed cartoon stickers and printed copies of the magazine, which provides simplified guidance on safety, traffic awareness and community services.

Meanwhile, the Positive Spirit Council, in cooperation with Naif Police Station, will organise the Naif Community Gathering at Union Square on Baniyas Street, running from 6pm to 1am.

The event will feature entertainment and sports activities, while introducing participants to Dubai Police services and official communication channels.

In addition, the Positive Spirit Council will conduct awareness lectures for workers in Al Muhaisnah, Al Quoz and Jebel Ali on New Year’s Eve, in partnership with strategic partners.

The sessions aim to promote safety, wellbeing and positive behaviour during the holiday period, reinforcing Dubai Police’s commitment to community safety and social responsibility.

Through these initiatives, Dubai Police aims to ensure a safe, inclusive and enjoyable New Year’s Eve for families and communities across the emirate.
