Taste of Dubai returns from 6–8 February 2026 at the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre, bringing together food lovers for one of the city’s biggest culinary celebrations. The festival features tasting-sized dishes from around 16 of Dubai’s top restaurants, encouraging visitors to sample a wide range of global cuisines rather than sit down for a full meal. It’s more than just food: live music, sunset DJ sets, and a family-friendly atmosphere combine to make the event feel like part food fair, part music fest. Around 27,000 people are expected across the weekend, drawn by the mix of flavours, energy, and experiences.
Beyond tasting menus, Taste of Dubai offers interactive elements such as chef-led live demos, hands-on workshops, and firepit sessions where visitors can learn culinary techniques from high-profile and celebrity chefs. Multiple music stages keep the vibe lively from afternoon into evening, and there are activities for all ages, including kids’ cook-along sessions, creative play zones, and arts and crafts. Ticket options include entry-only passes or bundles with food and drink vouchers, with some workshops free to attend on a first-come, first-served basis.
