Statues and figurines from popular Russian fairytales will make their way to Dubai in May for the  third edition of the Matryoshka Festival.

The festival will be hosted in City Walk, a lifestyle destination by UAE developer Meraas, and will be supported by the Russian Government through the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Dubai.

From May 2-5, City Walk will be transformed into a magical wonderland in keeping with this year's fairytale theme. Showcasing the best of Russia, the fun-filled family event will offer visitors an insight into some of the most influential aspects of Russian culture and lifestyle, including contemporary fashion, classic and modern performing arts, sports, and cuisine.
