If you’ve ever said, “I wish there was something fun to do this weekend,” this is your sign. Imagine strolling along Lagoon Walk, ocean breeze doing its thing, fairy lights glowing, kids laughing, food stalls calling your name… and you pretending you’re just “browsing” while secretly planning your third snack stop.
Save the Dates (Yes, Both Days)
The Ripe Market Mina, brought to you by RAK Properties…
Friday 20th February and Saturday 21st February
6:00 PM – 12:00 AM
Long, laid-back afternoons that drift effortlessly into fun-filled evenings – no rush, no stress, just good vibes.
Shop Local, Feel Cool
The Ripe Market Mina is basically the place where your wallet says “be careful” and your heart says “support local.” And honestly? We’re listening to the heart.
You’ll find unique local brands across:
- Kids’ clothing & toys
- Arts & crafts
- Home décor (yes, that candle you don’t need but absolutely want)
- Accessories & jewellery
- Men’s & women’s fashion
- Eco-friendly goodies
- Beachwear
- And foodie delights that deserve their own fan club
Whether you’re on a mission to discover your new favourite brand or just casually collecting compliments on your purchases, this is the vibe.
Free Kids’ Workshops
Let’s talk about the real MVPs — the free kids’ workshops happening across both days.
We’re talking:
- Ramadan Themed Canvas Painting
- Wood fanoos / lantern Colouring
- Tote Bag Painting
- Clay Pot Painting
Translation: creative chaos, colored hands, proud little artists… and a solid hour where parents can sip something in peace. You’re welcome.
Carnival Games + Daily Entertainment? Yes Please
Because what’s a weekend pop-up without a little friendly competition?
All weekend long, expect:
- Ring Toss
- Pyramid Throw
- Giant Jenga (where the tension is real and everyone suddenly becomes an engineer)
And keep your eyes open for the Balloon Man and Mirror Man making daily appearances — because nothing says “this is a core memory” like quirky entertainment popping up around the corner.
Snack Your Way Through Lagoon Walk
Come hungry. Seriously.
The entire Lagoon Walk will be buzzing with mouthwatering food options. Whether you’re craving something sweet, savoury, or “I’ll just try one bite” (which turns into five), you’re covered.
It’s the kind of place where dinner becomes dessert, dessert becomes “let’s try that too,” and nobody’s judging.
So… Are We Going?
If your idea of a perfect long weekend includes shopping local, keeping the kids entertained, eating way too much, and soaking in good vibes by the water — then yes, you’re going.
