By Staff Reporter
The Pakistan Mango Festival in Dubai is on today.

Delicious dishes made from the ‘king of fruits’ will be served together street food and a whole lot of entertainment, from live music to games and competitions. Entry is free for families.

The annual mango showcase — titled ‘Connecting Hearts – the Mangolicious Way’ this year – will be held at the Pakistan Association Dubai in Oud Metha from 5pm onwards.

Pakistan is one of the world’s largest exporters of mangoes, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange revenues through exports.

Thousands of UAE residents are expected to attend the extravaganza, which is now in its second edition.
