Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 17 September 2020: Proving that there really is no place like home, Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) has announced the return of the Dubai Home Festival (DHF) for 2020. The exciting second edition of the homeware shopping festival will take place from 24 September to 10 October at malls and home stores across the city.

Showcasing the latest furniture styles and collections from a host of international brands as well as innovative home-grown concepts, together with amazing interior design ideas and inspiration from experts in the industry, DHF is the ultimate destination for anyone looking to give their bedroom, living room, kitchen, garden or even entire villa or apartment a much-needed makeover.

From sales to promotions and appealing activations, this year's Dubai Home Festival is packed with great shopping experiences and activities. Dozens of the city's biggest homeware stores including Danube Home, Al Salem Carpet Trading, United Furniture, MINISO, MOOD, Pottery Barn Pottery Barn Kids, West Elm, Pan Emirates and THE One will offer savings of up to 70 per cent off their range of furniture, appliances, accessories and more as part of the DHF Sale,which will run throughout the festival.

Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), commented: "This year's edition of Dubai Home Festival comes at an optimal time when consumers are looking to update their homes having spent a long summer indoors, and as some continue to work from home. By working closely with our strategic partners and some of the biggest names and brands in the regional and global homeware industry, DHF offers residents and visitors to the UAE the chance to enjoy unbeatable sales, promotions and events. The annual festival will touch upon every room of the home and every aspect of home improvement, offering not only the latest ideas for redecorating and remodelling but also a huge selection of design-led accessories, statement pieces, as well as children's furnishings and much more."

"DHF fits in perfectly with Dubai's status as a major regional hub for retail festivals that regularly attracts shoppers from the UAE and overseas. The inaugural edition of DHF last year established the event on Dubai's Retail Calendar, and we look forward to even more success with 2020s celebration of the citys shopping culture and attractions."

This year's DHF will get underway with a stunning firework display at Festival Bay at Dubai Festival City Mall on 24 September at 9pm with malls, stores and shopping destinations across the city hosting a wide range of great Spend Win promotions for residents and visitors throughout the event.
