Ripe Market Returns to Dubai's Academy Park Starting October 12th

The Ripe Market, a community-led business founded in 2011 to support homegrown businesses in the UAE, is reopening its flagship location at Academy Park on October 12th and the 13th, 2024, in partnership with Dubai Police.

Running every Saturday and Sunday until May 2025, visitors to the open air market can shop for organic produce, handmade products, fashion and art, all while enjoying food stalls from local vendors as well as a range of activities like horseback riding and the petting zoo.

This year, the market will feature new attractions, including a live broadcast by Dubai 92, a dining experience by SALT, free fitness workouts, and an E-Karting track. The season also introduces revamped sports facilities, a wellness-focused Padel Park, and the Air Maniax assault course.
