It's not enough for Dubai to celebrate DXB Cucumber Day with the ability to buy drinks with cucumbers - they're going all out and organizing an actual Cucumber Carnival.
Taking place at Soho Garden on Thursday, October 17 and Friday, October 18, the Cucumber Carnival promises fun workshops, performances, exciting shows and plenty of food.
The festival will include quaint events like cucumber croquet, rose and spoon and three-legged races, vintage olympics and a Cucumber Cup horse race.
The carnival marks the end of a six-week drinks deal that started on September 8, with more than 50 participating bars and restaurants across the UAE serving special gin-based cocktails for Dhs40.
