Dubai Calendar is bringing entertainment straight to the living rooms of the city’s residents with its curated ‘Live from Dubai’ event series.

Building on the UAE’s #StayHome initiative, the programme aims to showcase the best of Dubai’s talent across fitness, culinary, dance, theatre, arts, comedy and more to engage communities around the city.

Featuring free live entertainment from a range of independent local artists, people can delve into a number of different activities to fuel their passion or to learn something new from this virtual experience.

Streamed each week from Wednesday to Saturday, ‘Live from Dubai’ offers exhilarating musical performances and brings exciting DJ sets straight to your living room.

Fitness enthusiasts can keep up with their exercise routines, while literature lovers can tune in for sessions that explore the beauty of the written word.

The programme also features cooking classes, and for the more creative residents, it offers easy tips for arts and crafts, while parents can keep their kids entertained with fun and engaging activities.
 
“As more entertainers join the movement, we hope to see the programme grow to offer even more diverse avenues for engagement and bring the community even closer to create special experiences together,’’ said Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment.

Schedules for all events will be posted on Dubai Calendar’s Instagram page, with live performances hosted on the artists’ independent Instagram accounts.
