The initial events announced will feature ‘Cinema Under the Stars’, ‘Fitness Hub’, ‘Winterfest’ and community celebrations throughout the year, with more set to be announced.
Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), a community by DMCC, brings its annual programme of events and experiences together under a new platform for the first time, with the launch of JLT Calendar.
The new calendar will provide a central hub to discover happenings across the district, with a diverse line-up designed to bring people together throughout the year. Launching its first edition, JLT Calendar will bring together the destination’s most established and popular events, including Cinema Under the Stars, Fitness Hub and Halloween, which last year attracted over 12,000 guests in a single evening. The programme will also introduce a number of new events, further enriching JLT’s year-round offering and reflecting the energy and spirit of the destination.
Spanning entertainment, fitness, culture and key occasions, the Calendar will give the community plenty to look forward to.
