Break the Block will feature two days’ worth of street food and live entertainment.
Creative experimentation reigns supreme at d3, and further establishing the district as the go-to address for all things counterculture is Break the Block, a new two-day event that will highlight street food and creative food concepts alongside music, creative freestyle performances, and other entertainment activities. This unique block party joins the already vibrant roster of high-profile industry events and cultural festivals held at d3, and we here at DSCVR are proud to be the official media partner for the event.
Break the Block will take over The Block at d3, transforming it into a vibrant space inspired by the block party concept, bringing to life an exciting foodie experience combined with entertainment and performances that celebrate Dubai’s diversity, street culture, and its most breakthrough creative talent in food, film music and art. Break the Block draws its inspiration from Dubai’s streets and the thrill-seeking spirit of its youngest residents, who live for freedom, individualism and authenticity. While the atmosphere will echo the typical block party, the overarching element will be to break traditional moulds and creative blocks within the communities.
