12. Ripe Night Market
Every Saturday night from 3pm to 9pm, the Al Barsha Pond Park is transformed into a night market street party. Ripe is an organization that grows local, fresh, and organic produce to distribute to the people of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. It’s a great event to showcase the culmination of eastern plus western values and the celebration of food. Everybody has to eat!
Ripe is a small team of international workers dedicated to promoting healthy eating – even in the urban desert. On Saturday nights the team tries to spread the word by hosting movies, local artists and musicians, fitness groups, and children’s arts and crafts under a canopy of brightly glowing lights. Bring some friends for an evening of fruit and veg, handmade jewelry, colorful lanterns, and the most beautiful sunset you’ve ever witnessed!
