Small stalls, big dreams: Tini-preneurs Market lands at Times Square Center

Times Square Center is hosting Maison Tini's Tini-preneurs Market on Saturday, 19 September 2026, from 10am to 1pm, a family event where young makers aged 5 to 18 step behind their own stalls to become business owners for a morning, meeting real customers and bringing their creativity to life.

For one morning, the mall fills with stalls set up by children and teenagers themselves. Families can browse handmade crafts, artwork, jewellery, games and original creations while meeting the young personalities behind each product, with every table telling a different story.

The market is about more than what's on sale. As the young Tini-preneurs introduce their products, explain how they made them and handle their own sales, they build confidence, communication, creativity and financial awareness without it feeling like a lesson.

"There is something truly wonderful about seeing a child speak proudly about an idea they have brought to life," said Nancy Nese Ozbek, General Manager, Times Square Center. "We are delighted to give these young makers a space where their creativity can shine."

Registration is now open for children aged 5 to 18 wanting to take part as young makers, via timessquarecenter.ae or @timessquaredxb and @tini.events on Instagram.
