Umm Al Emarat Park will host the latest edition of the popular food festival.
The UAE is buzzing with excitement as several outdoor events are planned for the cooler season. Similarly, the Miami Vibes Food Festival is set to make a vibrant return to Abu Dhabi, sending a wave of excitement amongst the capital’s foodies. Taking over Umm Al Emarat Park, this year’s festival will run from 17 to 26 January 2026.
Bringing its signature pastel palette and playful Miami-inspired styling to Abu Dhabi’s largest green space, the pop-up delivers plenty to explore across food, retail, and activities. As the most Instagrammable food festival in the country, Miami Vibes is a foodie haven, known for bringing together the best food stalls from around the city in one place.
This year’s edition features 33 participants, with a curated line-up that spotlights a mix of homegrown names and retail concepts, many of which are owned by Emirati entrepreneurs. Expect a roaming, graze-as-you-go approach to dining, with everything from comfort bites to coffee pit stops. Vendors include Four Cheese, Not A Big Deal, Choco Fundoe, Yaz Brew Café, Brewtopia, Mr. Ramen, Roots, Bloom Café, The Spectre Café, Luna Cafe, and more, making it easy to build your own itinerary—whether you’re in the mood for something sweet, savoury, or caffeine-forward.
Beyond the food stalls, Miami Vibes leans into interactive programming designed to keep both kids and adults entertained. Creative experiences include the After 12 Cake Decoration Workshop and hands-on sessions with Adventure Slime and Shades Studio. For visitors looking for something more high-energy, there are attractions such as Adventure Star Bounce and Chicken Runner, while Sugar Daddy Desserts adds another sweet stop to the route. If you’re documenting the day, Captured Photo offers a themed photo booth for that postcard-style snap.
There’s also plenty happening across the wider park for those who want to extend their visit. Umm Al Emarat Park’s winter season continues with Park Market, held every Friday and Saturday from 4pm to 10pm, bringing live entertainment and family-friendly experiences into the evening. Cinema at the Park also runs on Fridays and Saturdays with family and adventure films, while Cinematic Sundays take place from 6pm in collaboration with Image Nation.
Miami Vibes opens daily from 4pm, with last entry at 11pm. Tickets are priced at AED 15 per adult and AED 10 for children up to 12 years old. Visitors should note that park entry costs an additional AED 10, payable separately.
