Dubai, UAE: Festival Plaza, part of Al-Futtaim Malls, is set to celebrate mums in every way this Mother’s Day with special activities and memorable moments. Visit the mall on March 19 and 20 between 12pm-6pm for fun that will melt your heart to mark the occasion.
The neighbourhood mall invites visitors to unleash their inner Picasso and create masterpieces for their mums on white canvases. Priced at AED 100, the art experience will see participants grab their paintbrushes and get creative, with all materials provided by Festival Plaza. Don’t forget to tag @dubaifestivalplaza and use the hashtag #MothersDayatFestivalPlaza to win AED 200 from Just Accessories. Located on the ground floor, the art hub is the perfect place to find inspiration this Mother’s Day.
Mothers will also enjoy services from Damas Jewellery on the Festival Rewards app, including complimentary shining and engraving services, a consultation to craft and customise jewellery, complimentary photo shoots with mums, and 30-60 percent off selected products. Diamonds may shine bright, but nothing shines brighter this Mother’s Day than our mums.
Commenting on the mall’s CSR initiatives, Genevieve Colaco, Regional General Manager, Marketing & Customer Experience at Al-Futtaim Malls said: “At Al-Futtaim Malls, we cherish Mother’s Day as the perfect occasion to celebrate all of the wonderful mums out there. We always aim to give visitors the opportunity to show gratitude and love for their mothers and hope that they will join us for the amazing activities we have in store at Festival Plaza this year.”
Mums can also take advantage of Festival Plaza’s complimentary health checkups, held in partnership with the in-mall HealthHub Clinic Al-Futtaim. Running until Sunday, April 10, the initiative is held under the umbrella of the #FestivalCares initiative’s health and wellbeing arm with the slogan ‘Make Health a Priority”. The medical examination includes blood sugar and pressure, BMI, and cholesterol level screenings.
All mums need to do is use the code “Dubai South Offer” to avail the checkup, which will give them peace of mind in the knowledge that they, along with their loved ones, are healthy and free from disease. #FestivalCares seeks to promote health and wellbeing across communities, while spreading awareness over the importance of undergoing regular screenings for prevention.

The mall offers great discounts across its retail stores and a complimentary shuttle bus service every 20 minutes from the mall to the EXPO and back, as well as a dedicated hala pick up point is located outside the community mall entrance for taxi users.
