Dubai Municipality opens registration for fifth Souk Al Freej season with 50 free stalls

Dubai Municipality has opened registration for the fifth season of Souk Al Freej, an annual community initiative that supports entrepreneurs, small business owners, and productive families. The market will take place across three public parks during Dubai's winter season, with the first location at Nad Al Sheba Rose Garden from December 11th to 20th, 2026.

The initiative aims to activate public parks and expand their role as community destinations, offering shopping, entertainment, and cultural experiences alongside traditional recreational activities. The fifth season will introduce new cultural and entertainment experiences, including the "Asian Village Experience" and a dedicated Gen Z zone, as well as interactive workshops and a zipline for visitors to explore the market and engage with participating entrepreneurs.
