About
IMAGINE is a spectacular free multi-sensory show at Dubai Festival City Mall's Festival Bay Amphitheatre, holding two Guinness World Records for the world's largest permanent projection screen and largest water screen projection. This cutting-edge attraction combines 30 dancing fountains, high-powered lasers, over 2.5 million lumens of light, live flames, and pyrotechnics with surround sound music to create an unforgettable 360-degree immersive experience. Each performance lasts approximately 10 minutes and runs every 30 minutes from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM nightly.
The show features beloved story-based spectacles including The Pirates Tale, Hathi's Garden (a Disney-style baby elephant reunion), Stardancer, and A Child's Dream, all enhanced by projection mapping onto surrounding structures like the adjacent InterContinental Hotel. The open-air amphitheatre accommodates up to 12,000 viewers and delivers 4D effects through holograms, water screens operated by over 70 projectors, and giant geysers shooting water and fire into the night sky. The vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere is enhanced by the backdrop of Dubai's illuminated skyline.
Located at the promenade and bay area of Dubai Festival City Mall, IMAGINE offers multiple viewing angles for a personalized experience. No tickets or reservations are required, making it an accessible attraction for all ages. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early for prime viewing spots, especially on weekends when crowds gather to witness this magical fusion of technology and storytelling.

Reviews
“I went to see the IMAGINE Show, but unfortunately the show did not happen that evening. There was no announcement or notice explaining why it was cancelled, which was disappointing. From reading other reviews, the show itself is relatively short (around 4 minutes) and seems to feature mainly light, water, and laser displays with advertisements. Overall my experience was underwhelming, and I expected clearer communication and a more engaging performance.”
