Quoz Arts Festival

It will include film screenings, live performances and workshops. A DJ will be spinning the tunes for the evening while you munch on mouthwatering treats from visiting food trucks and the avenue’s many different restaurants.
When: January 26-27
Where: Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz

Nad Al Sheba
Cycle your way around the District One Cycling and Running Track. The 8.4km course is free to use (extra points for that) and is open 24 hours a day. As exciting as taking a photo might be (because the view of the city is that good), we advise you to focus on your ride. Unfortunately, those who don’t own a bike can’t rent one, yet. As its name suggests, it’s a running track too, so you can do that and, maybe even take a picture or two.
When: 24 hours a day
Where: Nad Al Sheba

Farmers’ Market on the Terrace
Make your way to Baker & Spice’s Farmers’ Market. You can pick your locally sourced veggies for the week and maybe even speak to farmers responsible for growing them. Tip: get there early to get your hands on the best and ripest produce.
When: 1am-1pm, January 26 and 27
Where: Bay Avenue, Business Bay

Enjoy a beachside brunch at La Cala
If distance doesn’t bother you, ditch the city brunch for one at La Cala – a beach bar nestled on the sandy outpost of Ghantoot Marina. The Friday brunch promises Balearic vibes, delicious food and unlimited beverages. The view is a nice added bonus as are the calming tunes.
When: 12pm-4pm, January 26
Where: Ghantoot Marina & Resort, Abu Dhabi
Price: From AED249 per person
