It’s officially ‘three years to go’ before Dubai Expo’s gates open to the world.
The UAE will host the Expo 2020 in Dubai with the theme ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’ beginning October 20, 2020.
A special ceremony on stage was marked at 20:20 or 8.20pm on Friday to celebrate the remaining three years before the opening of Expo 2020 Dubai.
During the event on Friday, Expo 2020’s Expo Live team also offered visitors a preview of an upcoming initiative: the Innovation Challenge Programme.
The family-friendly event was open to people of all ages and backgrounds, which mirrors what an Expo is like — a gathering for everyone. The day included numerous attractions, a fitness challenge, live local and international music and entertainment, a variety of food and drinks, plus a chance to learn more about Expo 2020 Dubai itself.
The Three Years to Go celebration featured an array of Expo-themed activities, many of which were based on innovations first showcased at previous World Expos such as television, the gramophone, telephones and ice cream cones.
Expo 2020 Dubai will be a celebration of human ingenuity around the theme, ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’, built on three pillars: Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability.
