In association with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) the first week of the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS), ‘Ice Surprises Week’, unfolds an exciting line-up cool summer fun at BurJuman, the region’s premium fashion destination.

As part of the 8 day event – which runs between June 21st and June 28th - the mall will be playing host to the city’s largest variety of DSS entertainment, including variety shows, theatrical performances, art and craft workshops and a number of entertainers including the ‘Balloon Man’, face painters and magicians.

Visitors to BurJuman will have the opportunity to enjoy the biggest selection of show-stopping performances and events, including the marching carnival with the Ice Queen and her many companions - everyday from 5.00-10.00 pm - and the ‘Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs Ice Skating Show’ - daily from 5 pm – 5.30 pm and again every half hour thereafter.

On June 22, there will be a ‘Balloon Performance’ whereby a highly skilled acrobat will participate in advanced moves – inside of a giant balloon! Similarly magical, there will be an ‘Ice Magician’ wowing crowds on June 27th between 5 and 10 pm and a selection of ‘living’ statues moving around the mall on June 28th.

Throughout Ice Surprises, Baskin Robbins will host a number of competitions from 7.30-9.30 pm including daily ice-cream eating contests where participants can win gift hampers and vouchers courtesy the popular ice-cream vendor.

Finally, as part of its efforts to reach out to the less fortunate children in the UAE, BurJuman has also set up a special ‘Shatoor’ hospitality tent, where shoppers can get Arabic henna tattoos, get their faces painted and buy items for sale, with proceeds going to the Beit Al Khair orphanage.


“BurJuman during the Ice Surprises week, in conjunction with DSS, is set to showcase the week’s coolest events,” said Sabina Khandwani, Head of PR and Marketing, BurJuman.

“With non stop action  for kids (and adults) of all ages, and some of the most fashionable brands in the world under one roof, BurJuman is once again playing a pivotal role in asserting the UAE as a year round holiday and residential destination,” she added.
