By Alserkal Avenue Brings Community Together for Eid
To mark the momentous occasion of Eid Al Fitr, Alserkal Avenue in Dubai, will turn into a community hub, from March 20 to 22, 2026, offering several free events for the entire family. During these challenging times, this Eid gesture by the well-known art and culture venue, delivers a message of togetherness and solidarity. Eid Al Fitr is the joyous culmination of a month long fasting period of Ramadan, celebrated bysharing spaces, visiting loved ones, meeting neighbours and distributing Eidiya — a gentle reminder that a community is built through small acts of care, we offer one another.
The weekend’s programme, a gesture from Alserkal Avenue to its audiences, is free and open to the public. It has been designed to inspire moments of belonging and community over the course of the weekend. The day-long programme on March 21, 2026, will focus on activities that the whole family can enjoy from 10 am until 8 pm. In addition, 11 participating F&B outlets will offer a specially curated Eid menu from 12 pm to 3 pm and while supplies last, courtesy of Alserkal Avenue.
