Sunday, October 12, 2025 • 10 am – 8 pm
Kutubna Cultural Center, Dubai

About the event

This October, Kutubna Community Day returns — a full-day celebration of stories, creativity, and collective giving. After the success of our first edition, we are ready to write the next chapter, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

This edition is also a fundraiser for Kutubna: visitors will be invited to Pay What You Can to attend, and every contribution goes directly toward sustaining Kutubna’s cultural and educational programming.
