Whether you’re after culture, food, music, or just a good time, this weekend has something for everyone. From art exhibitions to alternative dance parties, Italian sandwiches to island brunches, here’s your guide to making the most of the next few days.
Whether you’re into art, alternative music, Italian sandwiches, or just want to enjoy a coffee by a 400-year-old tree, Bahrain’s weekend scene has variety. The key is getting out there and experiencing it. So put down your phone (after you’ve checked opening times, obviously), gather your friends, and make some weekend memories.
Running daily until 20 February, this exhibition was inaugurated by H.E. Shaikh Rashid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa and transforms The Art Centre into a vibrant celebration of local talent and cultural expression. It’s a perfect opportunity to see what Bahrain’s creative community has been working on.
The Autumn Fair returns this weekend, featuring showcases from around the world. Keep an eye out for Dabdouba, the beloved teddy bear and sister to Dabdoub, making her Autumn Fair debut. It’s a charming addition to the weekend’s shopping agenda.
If you’re an early riser, head to Budaiya Botanical Garden this weekend. Beyond the fresh produce, there’s a live drawing workshop at the Workshop Zone. Bring your creative energy and put pen to paper in one of Bahrain’s most pleasant outdoor settings.
For something truly unique, Il Barza Café offers an experience you won’t find anywhere else. Sip a hot brew while admiring the 400-year-old tree that somehow thrives in the desert. It’s the kind of spot that reminds you why Bahrain is special.
Hungry for authentic Italian? Salumeria Papá has officially opened at Juffair Square, bringing delicious Italian sandwiches from the founders of the much-loved Osteria Papá. Perfect for lunch or dinner all weekend.
If you enjoy trendy, urban atmospheres paired with food that has a story, make sure to check this out. This isn’t your typical hotel dining room. It offers both a refined restaurant and a relaxed café, designed as a social hub for city residents.
Bahrain’s only truly alternative dance party returns at its new home. It’s been a while, so expect the usual shenanigans: indie and alt music to dance to, mad visuals, funky decorations, and retro games. The rules are simple: be kind and dance weird.
Fish Samak hosts Renad b2b Razan and Juso live. Island Vintage will be dressing up the DJs for what promises to be an interesting night. If you’re looking for something different from the usual Friday scene, this could be it.
If you’re searching for the perfect Friday morning plan, we’ve got something for you. The Farmers Market at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain is back, and it’s one of the best ways to enjoy the island’s beautiful winter weather.
Food, games, and entertainment on the 44th floor with Bahrain’s skyline as backdrop. Drinks start from BHD 2.
