This Sunday, July 20, Dubai residents and visitors can cool down with a free ice cream giveaway at The Market Island in Festival City Mall. The event celebrates International Ice Cream Day as part of the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) campaign.

From 10 AM until midnight, The Market Island will be handing out 3,000 scoops of complimentary ice cream in three flavours — vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio. The offer will be available while supplies last, so it’s best to head over early if you’re planning to enjoy your treat.

This initiative is part of DSS 2025, which runs until August 31, and includes a long list of affordable offers, free activities, entertainment events, and food deals across the city.
