Week-long family fun at Ripe by the Bay
Families can start the week with a bang! On Sundays, Ripe by The Bay’s animated storytelling show is bound to be a winner with the little ones, as they explore the art of telling memorable stories using animation and motion graphics.
Mondays are when the magic happens; Magic Mondays will wow youngsters (and young ones at heart) with a performance like no other.
Tuesdays will leave visitors puzzled – in a good way – as they take on family and friends Quiz Night one question at a time.
On Wednesdays, it is time for Open Mic night, giving the stage for local talent to unleash their inner poets, singers, rappers, or whatever else they fancy.
Come Thursday, we're eager for the weekend – which means Music Under the Stars with some of the best live entertainment that Dubai has to offer.
