What are the top promotional products to hand out at Dubai Summer Festivals?

Summer in Dubai is all about energy, spectacle and scale. From shopping carnivals and indoor entertainment to concerts, food events and family-friendly experiences, the place is alive with a huge range of activities throughout the season. For brands, it’s a golden opportunity to make direct connections with thousands of people in high-traffic, high-visibility environments.

Choosing the right promotional products can really help your business stand out and show your audience how much you appreciate them. It's important to pick giveaways that are practical, attractive and something people will actually use long after the event ends. Just remember, not every item works well in hot weather or in a large crowd, so think about what will truly resonate with your audience.

At EverythingBranded Dubai, we work with companies across the UAE to supply branded merchandise that gets results. Here’s our pick of the top-performing products for summer festivals.

Cool-down essentials with your brand on them

Dubai's summer heat is intense, making coolness-boosting giveaways hugely popular. Consider branded handheld fans in attention-grabbing colours, cooling towels with your logo, or mist spray bottles that clip onto bags. These lightweight and practical items provide instant relief, increasing the chances they will be kept and used.
Branded water bottles are also a festival must. Go for reusable BPA-free bottles with a sleek design and your logo printed clearly. It’s a gift that keeps your brand in sight every time it’s refilled.

Wearable merchandise that moves with the crowd

T-shirts, caps and drawstring bags are all great options for summer events, especially when they’re made from breathable fabrics and designed with style in mind. People love freebies they can wear or carry, especially if they’re functional or tie into the event’s look and feel.

Festival-goers often want hands-free solutions too, which is where branded cross-body pouches, lanyards and wristbands come in. These are especially popular at ticketed venues or pop-up events, where people need easy access to passes, cards or small essentials.

Tech giveaways that get noticed

Power banks, branded USB fans or portable phone holders are brilliant for events where people are snapping photos, filming content or spending hours on the go. If your product helps someone stay charged or connected, they’ll remember you and probably tell their friends about it!
Sunglasses are another strong choice, especially UV-protective ones with a custom-printed arm. Affordable, wearable and immediately useful, they tick every box for a summer festival giveaway.

Fun freebies for family crowds

Many summer events in Dubai are designed with families in mind, so it’s smart to include promotional items that appeal to children and parents alike. Branded colouring packs, frisbees, mini games or reusable sticker books are ideal for keeping little ones entertained while parents relax.
Tote bags are another reliable hit. They offer a canvas for your branding, they’re endlessly useful and they often end up getting reused long after the event, whether at the beach, the supermarket or school.

Eco-friendly options that send the right message

Sustainability is becoming a growing priority in the UAE and many event organisers now look for eco-conscious partners and suppliers. Show your values with reusable or biodegradable giveaways like bamboo pens, recycled notebooks or wheat straw drinkware. They’re functional, attractive, and they also reflect positively on your brand image.
At EverythingBranded, we offer a wide range of sustainable promotional items that are ideal for high-volume distribution without compromising on quality or impact.

Make it memorable with the right branding

Great promotional items are only as effective as their branding. Make sure your logo is visible, your design is clean and the message is clear. Our in-house team can help you choose the best print method and product pairing to maximise both visual impact and usability.
We also offer bespoke and luxury packaging options for brands that want to take their giveaways to the next level, ideal if you’re sponsoring a VIP zone, launching a new product, or aiming for a more premium experience.
