Bahrain’s malls have plenty on this week. A children’s character visit, a market for local products, a small-pet event and two style-led events at one mall are all running, and a couple stretch well into next week. Some are drop-in affairs, others are one day only, so it helps to know which is which before you set off. Here are the five, listed alphabetically by venue, with dates, times and what to expect.
Here are the five events to check out with the whole fam!
Mall Activities in Bahrain: 5 Picks To Check Out This Week
Marassi Galleria: Fashion Avenue Spotlight
Fashion Avenue Spotlight is on at the Ground Floor of Marassi Galleria until 28 September.
This is the beauty and style pick of the week, built around things you can try rather than just look at. The line-up covers fashion and beauty, with GRWM (get ready with me) vanity booths, fragrance moments and live artistry among the interactive features. Because it sits on the Ground Floor, it is easy to add to a general mall visit. No opening times or start date have been listed, so check with Marassi Galleria if you are planning around a particular hour.
Marassi Galleria: Kicks Festival
The Kicks Festival is at the Sports Zone in Marassi Galleria until 3 October
This is the sneaker event of the week, and it doesn’t require you to be a collector. It is billed as the region’s largest collection of sports and athleisure brands under one roof. Live customisation lets you transform a pair of trainers on the spot, a 360° stage is set up for outfit photos and videos, and the Grail Gallery shows some of the rarest sneaker releases ever made. It also runs longer than anything else on this list.
Al Aali Mall: World Rabbit Day at Petzone
Petzone hosts a free World Rabbit Day event on Friday 25 September, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
If you have a child asking for a pet, or you simply like rabbits, this is the easy one to say yes to. Petzone in Seef District is putting on a family afternoon with rabbits to meet and feed, kids’ activities, a photo corner, gifts, and food and drinks from Cuppa Coffee and Swaye Ice Cream.
Entry is free. Petzone is also taking 10% off all small animal essentials on the day, which is handy if you are due a restock. The event is run with Rabbit Paradise and supported by Advanced Veterinary Clinic. For questions, call 17178877.
The Avenues: PAW Patrol
Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye and Ryder are at The Avenues Bahrain from 17 to 26 September, daily from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
Parents of young children will know these names already. The PAW Patrol crew from Nickelodeon are in town for ten days, so there are plenty of chances to fit in a visit. The hours are long, which makes an early evening trip after school or work realistic, and you can go before dinner or after without missing anything.
Bahrain Mall: Khairat Al Bahrain Festival
The Khairat Al Bahrain Festival runs at The Bahrain Mall from 24 to 26 September, from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm.
This one is for anyone who prefers to shop local. The festival brings together Bahraini products, from traditional food and sweets to handmade crafts and other locally made items. The idea is simple: back Bahraini producers and take home something that was made here.
It is a practical stop if you need a gift or something for the table, and the opening hours mean you can go whenever suits you.
Planning Around the Week
Friday, 25 September is the busiest day. The rabbit event, the Khairat festival, PAW Patrol and both Marassi Galleria events are all running.
The rabbit event is one day only, and PAW Patrol and the Khairat festival both finish on Saturday 26 September. Fashion Avenue Spotlight runs until Monday 28 September and the Kicks Festival until Saturday 3 October, so those two are the ones you can still catch next week.
Both Marassi Galleria events are at the same mall, in different areas, so you can cover them in one trip.
