Ripe Market To Be Huge As It Returns To Academy Park In October

Being a Dubai resident, visiting Ripe Market is one of the most favourite winter activities. And when Ripe Market at Academy Park returns for its next season on Saturday October 14, it will be bigger and better than before.

The market is expanding to nearly double its size compared to last year, as a line-up of new vendor stalls and activities will be available.

The market will be a much larger green grass area, an adventure zone offering a zipline, a skate park and a climbing net crochet playground for kids, an E- Kart track, The Ripe Stables and Sanderson’s Café, By Serg from Tom & Serg.

All the things the the market is known for from workshops, live music, fitness classes, educational activities, horse riding and the petting zoo will also be returning.

Ripe Market was originally founded on the notion of selling organic food and veg from a farm shop but has grown so much over the years.

Visitors can buy from local businesses that will be selling everything from local organic fruits and vegetables from their own farms as well as gifts, fashion, homeware, jewellery and other artisanal pieces.

Opens Sat Oct 14 9am-9pm, Sun 9am-7pm. Ripe Market, Academy Park, Umm Suqeim, ripeme.com (04 315 7000).
