Dubai’s leading food, drink and music festival is back for three unforgettable days of flavour, fun, and festival vibes. With headline chefs Gino D’Acampo and Matt Preston, get ready for the biggest edition yet!

16 of Dubai’s best restaurants serving 4–5 taster-sized dishes each — from Michelin recognised icons to homegrown favourites.

Workshops with Celebrity Chefs, including legends Gino d’Acampo and Matt Preston. Learn from the stars in free interactive sessions, hosted by Taste’s favourite hosts Priti Malik, Zoe Dickens and Andrew Dickens. Best of all, workshops are free with your event ticket on a first-come, first-served basis.

VIP Experiences, perfect for Taste-goers who fancy an upgraded celebration in style. Guests can expect fast-track entry to the event, food & drink vouchers, and access to the VIP Lounge with dedicated musicians and exclusive activations.

Non-stop entertainment to keep the party alive all weekend. Multiple music pockets will feature everything from DJs spinning the latest beats, to live bands performing their musical medleys and intimate acoustic sessions. Looking for the perfect beverage to cool down? Guests can head to one of the 21+ licensed lounges within the event, or enjoy an array of mocktails.

Mini shopping expedition Taste of Dubai will showcase an exciting mix of exhibitors and vendors. Festival-goers can browse an impressive market of artisan producers and established brands, sampling their products, discovering trinkets, and shopping for unique finds to take home. Plus, keep an eye out for experiential activations and games at every corner.
