About the event
What is Global Village?
Global Village opened in 1997 and now operates each winter season with country pavilions, street food, shopping, rides and nightly shows. Season 30 opened on 15 October 2025 and was extended into late May 2026; Season 31 opens on 14 October 2026. Season 32 is expected to follow the same October-to-spring pattern, but official dates have not yet been announced.
Global Village reported a record 10.5 million guests in Season 29 (2024–25), with 30 pavilions representing more than 90 cultures, 3,500+ shopping outlets and 200+ rides and attractions. Pavilions, vendors and sponsors work across a long season, so regular fresh content — stage shows, food, crowds and launches — keeps them visible to both residents and tourists.
