Pastel backdrops, food trucks, and all those perfectly photogenic corners are making a comeback in the capital. Miami Vibes is returning to Abu Dhabi on 16 October, and this time, instead of a weekend run, it’s sticking around for a full month.
Miami Vibes Is Returning To Abu Dhabi
This edition takes over Umm Al Emarat Park in Al Mushrif, with gates opening at 4 pm and closing at 11 pm on the opening day. The park has been confirmed as the venue, with further updates expected on the festival’s Instagram page, @miamivibes.ae.
As for tickets, expect to pay around AED15 for adults and AED10 for kids, plus an extra AED10 for park entry. Worth noting, though, these prices are based on last year’s ticketing, so it’s best to double-check at the gate or on the official page closer to the date, just in case anything changes.
What To Expect At Miami Vibes
If you’ve been to a previous edition, you already have a good idea of what’s coming. The January run, which was the third edition of the festival’s winter season, brought together 33 participants, many of them food trucks and fashion brands run by Emirati entrepreneurs.
The food lineup covered a lot of ground too, from ramen at Mr. Ramen to sweet treats from Choco Fundoe and Sugar Daddy Desserts, along with specialty coffee from Brewtopia and Yaz Brew Café.
And it’s never just been about the food. Past editions have included a cake decoration workshop for families, slime-making sessions with Adventure Slime, and creative workshops at Shades Studio. For visitors who wanted to burn off some energy, there was Adventure Star Bounce and Chicken Runner, while retail pop-ups and fashion showcases filled out the rest of the park.
Miami Vibes Has Been Running Across The UAE
Miami Vibes isn’t new to the UAE scene. It’s been a regular feature since it first launched back in 2021, hopping between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain over the years. Last year, it even tried something different with a drive-thru version at Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi.
This time around, the month-long run gives visitors a lot more breathing room to plan a visit around work, school runs, or weekend plans, rather than trying to squeeze it into a single weekend. The full lineup of food trucks and pop-ups for this edition hasn’t been announced yet, so expect those details to roll out closer to the start date.
What Else Can You Do At Umm Al Emarat Park?
Miami Vibes isn’t the only reason to swing by the park this month. Umm Al Emarat Park has previously run its Park Market alongside the festival on Fridays and Sundays, and it’s also hosted cinema nights on select evenings, so there’s plenty to pair with your visit.
