Abu Dhabi’s leading food, drink and music festival, in partnership with BMW, is back for three unforgettable days of flavour, fun, and festival vibes.

16 of Abu Dhabi’s best restaurants serving 4–5 taster-sized dishes each — from Michelin recognised icons to homegrown favourites.

Workshops with Celebrity Chefs, where you get to learn from the stars in interactive sessions, hosted by Taste’s favourite hosts Priti Malik, Zoe Dickens and Andrew Dickens. Best of all, workshops are free with your event ticket on a first-come, first-served basis.

Pasta-Making Workshops, giving you insider tips on making the best fresh pasta, as you follow along in these hands-on sessions, included free with your ticket.

Mega Kids’ Zone, where your little foodies are entertained in a dedicated space with everything from exhilarating activities to arts and crafts.

VIP Experiences, perfect for Taste-goers who fancy an upgraded celebration in style. Guests can expect fast-track entry to the event, food & drink vouchers, and access to the VIP Lounge with dedicated musicians and exclusive activations.

Non-stop entertainment to keep the party alive all weekend. Multiple music pockets will feature everything from DJs spinning the latest beats, to live bands performing their musical medleys and intimate acoustic sessions. Looking for the perfect beverage to cool down? Guests can head to one of the 21+ licensed lounges within the event, or enjoy an array of mocktails.

Mini shopping expedition at Taste of Abu Dhabi will showcase an exciting mix of exhibitors and vendors. Festival-goers can browse an impressive market of artisan producers and established brands, sampling their products, discovering trinkets, and shopping for unique finds to take home. Plus, keep an eye out for experiential activations and games at every corner.
