It wouldn’t be winter in Dubai if our favourite outdoor-food festival wasn’t directly on the beach. That’s right the etisalat Beach Canteen is coming back to the shores of Sunset Beach Jumeirah. From 10 to 27 December, get ready to eat, play, shop, and (of course) eat some more during the best season in Dubai. And thid year the Canteen is even joining the Dubai Shopping Festival for the very first time. I’ll keep the chatter here short, so you can keep reading all the exciting details you need to know.
What’s On the Menu?
The festival has shared the main idea so far – food and drink, live entertainment, interactive workshops and other activities. That gives you a good mix of things to eat, watch and try. Think of it as a day out, not just a quick bite.
Is It Free?
Yes, entry is free. That makes it an easy plan whether you’re heading out with family, a group of friends or just yourself.
What We’re Still Waiting For
The organisers haven’t shared everything yet. Opening hours, the full list of food vendors and the entertainment schedule are all still to come. We’ll update you as soon as they’re out, and you can also follow @beachcanteenofficial on Instagram or check beachcanteen.ae for the latest.
Save The Date
The etisalat Beach Canteen runs from 10 to 27 December 2026 at Sunset Beach, Jumeirah. Entry is free, so all you need to bring is an appetite.
