Calling all food lovers, this one’s for you. Get ready for 3 days of food glorious food. With the city’s hottest restaurants, live cooking shows featuring world-class celebrity chefs, an incredible line-up of international music, and shopping spots this is a great way to spend your weekend.

Dubai Sky Carnival
Where: Kite Beach
When: March 10-11
Round up the kids, settle down and get comfy with your toes in the sand as you watch hundreds of kites swoop and dive above you transforming Kite Beach into a sea of colour. Of course you, and your little ones, are going to need some food to fuel your day and luckily Kite Beach is full of delicious options. We love BRGR for one of the best (yep, you guessed it!) burgers in town and Dessert Island for yummy ice-cream sundaes. If you really want to earn the parent of the year award then make your kid’s day even more amazing by taking them to the really cool Wire World Adventure Parks Kite Beach.
Bryan Adams
Where: Autism Rocks Arena
When: March 9
»Everything I do, I do it for youuuuuuu». Yep, we all know this 1991 classic tune (who else just felt incredibly old just then?) and we couldn’t be more excited that rocker Bryan Adams is in town. Of course, all that dancing and partying like it’s the Summer of 69 is going to need lots of energy so it’s only right you power up with a few carbs! So, make a pitstop at Carluccio’s in City Centre Mirdiff—famous for their wood-fired pizza and other Italian delights.
Holi Carnival
Where: The Rugby Park, Dubai Sports City.
When: March 10
UAE JET SKI RACE- Heat 2

With an international line-up of more than 80 racers battling it out on an exciting race course set between the Corniche and the Breakwater, this is one adrenaline-fuelled competition you won’t want to miss! Plus you could even pop along to nearby Johnny Rockets for a slap up American feast making your day out even more fun… And filling.
