Bahrain doesn't holds shopping festivals like Dubai as it is less likely to compete with the hi-fi riches of Dubai. However there are indeed some small scale low profile shopping events held each year. One of the most important of them is Bahrain Computer Shopping Festival.

But I am sure near in future plan, Bahrain will do so, since the popularity of tourist coming in had increased, I am sure that they will held few or more in a year just like Dupai. Dupai is the same, when they were first introduce to the world, there weren't any news about shopping festival but later when they were popular, they start having few and more.

Josh, for the correction.
its supposed "Saturday Market", because they have this particular market every Saturday since Friday & Saturdays are the off days for workers and students in Bahrain.

I'd imagine taht the economic crises has put a damper on Dubai's shopping festival, since it relies on wealthy tourists who aren't traveling nearly as often or as far from home as they have in years past.

Are there festivals, in Bahrain, that are more folkloric or culturally based?

Interesting.

I wonder if there are tribal gatherings instead of festivals focused on money?

Here, we have pow-wows where Native Americans get together and set up shops, but also have Native dance and clothing contests.

The Pow-wow has a nice balance between money and culture.
