Pastel backdrops, food trucks and photo-ready corners are returning to the capital. Miami Vibes is coming back to Abu Dhabi on 16 October, and it will stay for an entire month. Here is what we know so far.
Miami Vibes Is Returning To Abu Dhabi
This time, the festival is set to take over Umm Al Emarat Park in Al Mushrif, with gates opening at 4pm and closing at 11pm on opening day. What’s On lists the park as the venue for the new edition, with updates shared on the festival’s Instagram account, @miamivibes.ae.
What’s On lists tickets at AED15 for adults and AED 10 for children, plus an extra AED 10 for park entry. It also notes that those prices are based on last year’s ticketing, so confirm at the gate or on the official page before you go.
What To Expect At Miami Vibes
If you have been before, you will know what to expect. The January edition, the third in the festival’s winter season, brought together 33 participants, with many of the food trucks and fashion concepts owned by Emirati entrepreneurs. Menus ranged from ramen at Mr. Ramen to sweets from Choco Fundoe and Sugar Daddy Desserts, and specialty coffee from Brewtopia and Yaz Brew Café.
Miami Vibes has never been only about food, either. Last time, families could join a cake decoration workshop, try slime-making with Adventure Slime and book creative sessions at Shades Studio. Adventure Star Bounce and Chicken Runner kept the more energetic visitors busy, while retail pop-ups and fashion showcases filled the rest of the park.
Miami Vibes Has Been Running Across The UAE
The festival has been a regular fixture across the UAE since it first appeared in 2021, moving between Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Last year, it even went the drive-thru route at Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi.
A month-long run gives you more flexibility to plan your visit around work, school and weekend plans. Confirmed line-up details for this edition have not been widely shared yet, so expect the food trucks and pop-ups to be announced closer to the date.
