Bernice Boshoff, General Manager Festival Centre, Dubai Festival City said: “Festival Centre is renowned for offering unrivalled choices to shoppers during DSS. The promotion and prizes coupled with the Olympic themed activities designed for this year’s DSS are incredibly entertaining to mall shoppers from all ages.

The Olympic Street Dancers perform exhilarating and high energy Olympic themed shows specifically choreographed for Festival Centre, including various sport performance styles, rainbow colored ribbon acrobatic dances and spectacular hoop numbers creating the world renowned Olympic rings.

Victor Rubliar Football Tricks will take over the Festival Square stage on the second week of DSS. The master at the sport is a much sought-after freestyle artist and has performed in 158 cities across 41 countries over the last eight years. Mesmerizingly, he balances and spins the football on his forehead, makes it leap from one shoulder to the other as would a bird hop from one tree branch to another. Fascinatingly, he juggles with five balls comfortably, something which others of his trade have not achieved as yet!

Families and kids are enjoying the 2012 Festival Centre Summer Games with the sporting competitions and tournaments including Football, Tennis, Basketball, Hockey, Volleyball, Trampoline, Rowing, Rhythmic Gymnastics, High Jump & Flipper Races, as well as the Olympic Art & Crafts workshops and sporty Video Gaming Zone. Festival Centre medals and trophies are being handed-out to winning participants and sportsters over the DSS period in addition to spot prizes courtesy of B360 watches, Toys R Us, McDonalds & Fitness First!

With such a mix of shopping and family fun this DSS at the 2012 Festival Centre Summer Games, Dubai Festival City, Festival Centre is definitely the “Shopolympic” destination with unparalleled offerings for the entire family.
