Dubai Hosts Markets, Concerts, Exhibitions This Weekend

Times Square Center opens a free artisan market on Saturday from 10:00 to 19:00 that features handmade jewelry, art pieces and gourmet treats plus craft workshops aimed at children.

Residents in Bur Dubai often look for accessible weekend options when daytime heat limits outdoor movement, and these scheduled activities give families and groups structured choices at fixed locations without requiring long travel.

Saturday Lineup

Sole DXB runs at d3 from noon until midnight on Saturday with live sets by Tyla, Lil Yachty and Masego plus fashion pop-ups and basketball tournaments on site.

Franz Ferdinand performs the same evening with doors opening at 19:00 and the show beginning at 20:00; ticket prices range from AED 295 to AED 395.

The Dubai International Art Fair operates from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Saturday at the Dubai World Trade Centre and displays paintings, sculptures and digital works from multiple exhibitors.

Sunday Options

Pittie, also known as Mr. Worldwide, takes the stage at Coca-Cola Arena on Sunday at 20:00 with standing tickets listed from AED 85.

The Dubai International Art Fair continues its run at the Dubai World Trade Centre on Sunday with the same 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM hours and the same mix of paintings, sculptures and digital pieces.

Event listings show that the Times Square Center market and Sole DXB close after Saturday, leaving the art fair and the Coca-Cola Arena concert as the primary Sunday draws for those seeking indoor programming.

Attendees can review entry requirements and any remaining ticket availability directly through venue websites or the listed event pages before heading out.
