Waterfront Market, Dubai’s largest fresh food destination, welcomes summer with the return of its much-anticipated Mangolicious Festival, a celebration dedicated to the king of fruits. Running from 15 May to 31 May 2026 from 10am to 10pm, the festival transforms the Market into a vibrant destination of flavour, family experiences, rewards, and seasonal discovery.
Bringing together a curated selection of mangoes from India, Thailand, Peru, South Africa, Kenya, Yemen, and Pakistan, the festival invites visitors to discover some of the season’s most sought-after varieties, including Alphonso, Nam Dok Mai, Osteen, Sabri, Ngowe, and the regional favourite Taimoor, with Pakistani varieties such as Chaunsa arriving later in the season.
Families can enjoy a vibrant mango-themed experience across Waterfront Market, featuring fun activities for all ages. Shoppers who spend AED 50 can participate in the Mango Guess & Win competition for a chance to win up to AED 20,000 in fresh produce vouchers and receive a complimentary mango juice pop daily in collaboration with Barakat. During Eid Al Adha, visitors can also enjoy complimentary food tastings by retailers across the Market, adding to the festive atmosphere throughout the holiday period.
The Mangolicious Festival is a vibrant celebration of fresh food, global flavours, and Waterfront Market’s position as Dubai’s leading destination for premium produce and market experiences.
