If you’ve ever wanted to get up close and personal with some adorable goats (and I’m talking about those super cute and fluffy ones, not your “Greatest of All Time” kind), this one’s for you! The GOAT Festival is coming to Terra, Expo City Dubai, and it’s bringing with it a weekend full of laughter, learning, and a whole lot of farmyard fun. Mark your calendars for October 25 & 26 and November 1 & 2, 2025, because from 10 AM to 6 PM, Terra’s Courtyard is turning into a lively celebration of all things goat. I have even more incredible details where that came from, so keep reading to find out more.

A Festival For The Full Family
The GOAT Festival is all about celebrating these gentle farm animals in the most interactive and entertaining way possible. Expect a day packed with activities, workshops, storytelling sessions, and hands-on fun for both kids and adults. Whether you’re an animal lover, a curious learner, or just someone looking for a wholesome family experience, this event has something for everyone.
Learn, Play & Explore the World of Goats
Ever wondered why goats are such an important part of farming and sustainability? Here’s your chance to find out! The festival is designed to educate visitors all about goats. From their role in food production to their contribution to eco-friendly farming practices – all of that and more, in the most engaging way possible. There’ll be guided tours every 30 minutes, giving you a chance to meet the goats up close and hear fun stories about their lives.
And that’s just the start! Kids can let their creativity run wild with goat mask-making, footprint art, and even a bookmark craft session. For the little dreamers and tinkerers, there’s the “Be the GOAT” workshop. Which is a self-led activity table where imagination takes the lead.
Hands-On Fun For All Age
If you’re looking for something that’s equal parts fun and fulfilling, the “Design Your Own Pot & Plant” activity will definitely hit the spot. You can decorate your own pot and plant something special to take home. It’ll be a perfect little reminder of your day at the farm.
Plus, as an exciting extra, there’ll be a Rescue Animals Encounter, giving visitors a chance to meet and learn about animals who’ve been given a second chance at life.
A Feast of Flavours (And Maybe A Few Surprises!)
And what’s a festival without food, right? While the delicious details are still yet to be released, you can look forward to goat-based culinary products and other tasty treats that celebrate sustainable, healthy eating. So yes, come hungry!
And to set the mood, expect easygoing background music floating through Terra’s Courtyard as you explore the workshops, vendors, and tour spots across the venue.
