If you're braving the summer heat in Dubai this weekend, here's a sweet reason to step out: 3,000 free ice creams are up for grabs at Festival City Mall this Sunday (July 20). As part of the International Ice Cream Day celebration, Market Island at the mall will hand out free scoops from 10am until midnight, or until stocks last. Choose from classic flavours like vanilla, chocolate, or pistachio, and cool off with your family during the sunny weekend. The ice cream bonanza is part of the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) campaign, which runs until August 31. The 66-day citywide event features pocket-friendly deals, live entertainment, family activities, and exclusive gastronomic experiences. With summer temperatures soaring, this chilled treat couldn’t come at a better time. So grab your spoons—and maybe some napkins—and get there early. Because when it comes to free ice cream in Dubai, it’s first come, first scoop. ICA/Expat Media
