Dubai opens registration for winter market with 50 stalls across three parks

Dubai Municipality has launched registration for the fifth annual winter market, Souk Al Freej, set to take place across three public parks in the emirate. The market will feature 50 stalls, including 10 dedicated to activities and food and beverage services, providing local entrepreneurs with a platform to showcase and sell their products.

The market will run from December 11 to January 17, 2027, with each park hosting the event for a specific period. Visitors can expect a range of offerings, from handmade foods and handicrafts to fashion items and sustainable goods. In addition to the traditional market atmosphere, the initiative also brings new attractions such as an Asian Village Experience, themed designs, cultural activities, a zipline, and interactive treasure hunts.

These additions aim to attract families and younger visitors, offering them a unique combination of shopping, entertainment, and cultural experiences. Mohammed Abdulrahman Ahli, director of the Public Parks and Recreational Facilities Department at Dubai Municipality, highlighted the market's importance as a community platform for supporting local entrepreneurs and productive families.

The initiative seeks to strengthen the role of public parks as destinations for different age groups, combining recreational activities, cultural experiences, and opportunities for local businesses.
