Mass pillow fight tonight

Anyone wanting to harmlessly bash out some aggression should attend a mass pillow fight at Dubai Mall Wednesday afternoon.

"Please join us as you witness the new definition of a smashing good time," said a spokesman for the event. Part of Dubai Summer Surprises, the pillow fight will be Wednesday at 5pm at the Dubai Ice Rink.

The 16th Dubai Summer Surprises runs until July 7 and includes dozens of shows and activities, all fronted by the cheerful, yellow mascot Modhesh.
