ActivateMe™ is Dubai’s first-of-its-kind family community festival - a place where movement, creativity, and discovery come alive. Happening on 17–18 January 2026 at Dubai Silicon Oasis, ActivateMe™ Fest brings families together in a vibrant space designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and connection.
Across two inspiring days, you’ll explore curated zones filled with opportunities to try something new: from soccer drills and dance workshops to board games, e-gaming, live performances, and hands-on learning experiences. Whether you’re a child taking your first steps into a new sport or an adult rediscovering a forgotten passion, there’s something here for everyone.
At its heart, ActivateMe™ is about balance - the balance between fun and growth, play and learning, movement and creativity. It’s a celebration of all the paths we can take, and the joy of exploring them together. Because choosing ActivateMe™ doesn’t mean choosing just one path. It means opening the door to many.
