An eco-friendly food festival is coming to Souk Madinat Jumeirah
Enjoy food and beverage masterclasses, special menus and a plastic-free fresh-produce market…
As Dubai winter starts to roll into summer, we’re currently entering the perfect time of year, with blissfully-warm temperatures and more sunshine than we have been accustomed to over the winter months.
This time of year also means that an abundance of food festivals burst into reality and we couldn’t be happier about it. Ever-popular Dubai destination, Souk Madinat Jumeirah is launching an eco-friendly food festival, Homegrown@Souk, soon and it sounds seriously cute.
There will be a huge focus on sustainability at the food festival, which will take place from Friday, February 28 to Saturday, March 7. Madinat Jumeirah are committed to showcasing ‘a world of eco-friendly culinary possibilities’, with food and beverage masterclasses, special menus and a fresh produce market.

You’ll also be provided with a complimentary tote-bag, to eliminate plastic use and encourage a positive attitude towards eco-consciousness.
