In an attempt to celebrate its 26-year-old shopping festival in the city, Dolmen Mall is all prepped to bring a ton of activities, including super sales, carnival games, DSF deals, giveaways, instant prizes and vouchers, to end the year on a great note.

All three Dolmen malls in Clifton, Tariq Road and Hyderi plan to host Dolmen Shopping Festival from 21st December 2018 to 6th January, 2019.

Dolmen Shopping Festival is ready to put a magical end to 2018.

The Carnival stage is all set to welcome attendees from around the country this December.

Magicians, fortune tellers, clowns and jugglers, an enchanted forest with fun activities and storytelling sessions for kids await kids and families at the festival this year.

2. Float to Dolmen

Spot the Dolmen float around town, shoot a picture and share on Dolmen Malls' social media with #LetsDSF or #DolmenMagicalMoments to feature on their official stories on their social media.

To facilitate the journey, Uber is giving away 50% discounts on two rides to and from Dolmen Malls.
