Dubai Summer Surprises 2025: How to get free ice cream at Festival City Mall this Sunday?
Thousands of scoops await visitors at The Market Island
DUBAI: Heading out with family in the scorching summer heat this weekend? You’re in for a cool surprise.
On Sunday, July 20, The Market Island at Dubai Festival City Mall is giving away 3,000 free scoops of ice cream to mark International Ice Cream Day.
The event, part of the ongoing Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) campaign, offers a choice of three classic flavours: vanilla, chocolate and pistachio. The giveaway will run from 10am until midnight, or until stocks last – whichever comes first.
What to expect
The ice cream will be available at Naughty Pizza, a vendor within The Market Island food hall – one of the largest in the region at 70,000 square feet. Known for its live kitchen experience and fermented Biga dough, Naughty Pizza will take the spotlight on Sunday with its cool giveaway.
Shoppers can simply walk in and claim their scoop without any purchase required. There’s no catch – just a simple way to sweeten your summer weekend.
More than dessert
The Market Island is home to over 40 culinary vendors representing diverse cuisines including Italian, Georgian, Indian, Korean, Japanese, American and Uzbek. Beyond food, the space frequently hosts live music, children’s entertainment, and themed pop-ups.
This giveaway comes as part of the 66-day DSS campaign, which runs until August 31. The festival features unbeatable discounts, free events, live shows, and dining offers across the city.
Dubai Festival City Mall remains a popular family destination with year-round events, and this weekend’s icy offering is expected to draw large crowds. Whether you’re in for the food, the fun, or just a scoop of free ice cream, The Market Island is ready to welcome you.
