Dubai Design Week will celebrate its 11th edition in November

Dubai Design Week returns for its 11th edition from 4-9 November 2025, under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This year’s program, coinciding with the UAE’s ‘Year of Community,’ highlights design as a connector of people, culture, and ideas.

Dubai Design Week will celebrate its 11th edition from 4-9 November 2025 under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture) and member of the Dubai Council. As the region’s leading design festival, this annual celebration of creativity and culture is held in strategic partnership with Dubai Design District (d3), a member of TECOM Group PJSC, and supported by Dubai Culture. Dubai Design Week 2025 coincides with the UAE’s ‘Year of Community’. This year’s program reflects this theme through a focus on social cohesion, participation, and shared experiences. Design will be explored not only as a practice of innovation, but as a social connector, and as a civic and cultural tool that can shape how we live together, communicate, and build lasting systems of care. Through exhibitions, fairs, large-scale installations, talks, and workshops, the festival engages with the narratives of our time, creating a space for dialogue, experimentation, and progress, harnessing its position as a regional melting pot and creative hub.  Key venues are located across D3, a global creative ecosystem dedicated to design, fashion, architecture, and art.
