Expo Khorfakkan Unveils A Diverse Q1 2026 Events Calendar To Boost Regional Growth And Engagement

Expo Khorfakkan has announced its Q1 2026 events calendar, outlining specialised exhibitions alongside commercial, cultural, and entertainment activities. The schedule aims to support economic momentum in the Eastern Region while enhancing the venue’s role as a key shopping and leisure hub for residents and visitors.

The programme also aligns with Expo Khorfakkan’s strategy to provide diverse trading channels for retailers, home-based projects, and entrepreneurs. It is designed to create integrated platforms that blend sales, cultural participation, and entertainment, offering consumers a single destination for shopping, engagement, and seasonal experiences.

Expo Khorfakkan began implementing the Q1 2026 events calendar in January, with a series of new exhibitions and activities. These early events attracted strong participation from local brands, reflecting interest from traders who seek structured opportunities to reach wider audiences in a controlled, indoor environment.

With Ramadan approaching in 2026, Expo Khorfakkan is preparing a comprehensive festive programme centred on shopping and leisure. Planned exhibitions will highlight a broad range of Ramadan essentials, premium gifts, and seasonal products, supported by food and beverage areas designed to serve both families and individual visitors.

Families will be able to experience a dedicated Ramadan setting that promotes interaction and social engagement. The agenda includes live workshops, "Hag Al Laila" events, and children’s competitions, creating an inclusive atmosphere that caters to visitors of all ages within a safe, managed, and accessible environment.

"These exhibitions are designed to combine commercial activity with entertainment and cultural experiences, enabling visitors to explore new products, interact with local designers and traders, and enjoy a safe, family-friendly environment," Al Mansouri added.

Al Mansouri stated that the Q1 2026 events calendar also supports entrepreneurs and SMEs by offering practical platforms to display products and interact with larger customer bases. He highlighted that each Expo Khorfakkan event is structured to integrate retail, entertainment, and cultural activity, encouraging family participation and strengthening community interaction across the Eastern Region.
