Get ready for brilliant deals, fun and chances to win at everyone’s favourite shopping destination in Karachi, Dolmen Mall. The annual Dolmen Shopping Festival (DSF Karachi) kicks off this Saturday, 20th December, with crazy discounts and activities for the whole family.
Dolmen Mall had planned a grand opening ceremony featuring parades, performances, dry fireworks and a balloon cascade. However, following the tragic events earlier this week, they decided they would rather begin with a candlelit vigil for the victims of the Peshawar Attacks.

| Winter shopping fun |
DSF Karachi is taking place at all three Dolmen Malls in the city: Clifton, Tariq Road and Hyderi. It runs from December 20th to January 4th and is full of deals, special events and prizes. Dozens of retailers will be offering discounts and chances to win, with everything from discount vouchers to an HP tablet up for grabs.
While some fabulous buys will be available, DSF is about more than just shopping. The malls will be hosting art & heritage exhibitions, street theater and a fashion show, amongst other activities. There’s going to be dozens of kids’ activities, including face painting, games and magic shows. Watch this space for a special post on all the wonderful children’s activities at DSF. The festival will also include a cooking show with HUM TV as well as celebrity appearances.
