Beneath the iconic dome of Al Wasl Plaza, Expo City Dubai welcomed the new season in April 2025 with the Harvest Festival – Spring Edition—a celebration of sunshine, flavour, and springtime spirit that drew nearly 2,000 guests for a day filled with food, creativity, and community.  
 
With flower-themed décor, family-friendly games, and hands-on workshops, the festival offered an immersive experience that brought people together to enjoy the season. 

Concept 

Guided by global tastes, TGP Events & Catering created a food journey that anchored the festival experience—inviting guests to explore spring through flavour. 

Three signature brunch concepts led this culinary celebration: Gup & Shup reinvented Indian street food with bold flavours and a playful twist; Philly Jawn by Ghostburger delivered crowd-pleasing American comfort food with a gourmet edge; and Rubia Gallega introduced guests to the elegance of Spanish seasonal sharing plates. 

Alongside the brunches, guests explored an array of food trucks and carts offering everything from Vietnamese noodles to Swedish sweets, popcorn, and candy floss. 

TGP also introduced spring-themed picnic hampers, curated for two and available at the entrance. These thoughtfully prepared bundles encouraged guests to enjoy their meals picnic-style on the lawn, adding a relaxed, al fresco element to the day. 

Highlights 

The festival placed families and community at its heart, creating a lively, inclusive atmosphere filled with interactive experiences and thoughtful touches throughout: 

- Creative Workshops: Guests of all ages participated in egg decorating, flower crown-making, and spring pot painting. 

- Family Games: The plaza buzzed with energy from bunny hop races, egg-and-spoon competitions, and scooter challenges. 

- Ultimate Egg Hunt: Thousands of colourful eggs were hidden throughout the venue, including a handful of golden eggs with grand prizes. 

- Kids’ Zone: A dedicated area with carnival-style games and a bouncy castle kept younger guests engaged and entertained. 

 - Artisan Market: Visitors browsed artisanal goods and local produce from Manbat and White Label, adding a retail element to the day. 

The event's pet-friendly policy made it a day out for the whole family. Whether enjoying brunch, taking part in a game, or relaxing under the sun, guests experienced a spring celebration crafted with care and creativity.
