Doha: Katara Cultural Village concluded yesterday its activities for Eid Al Adha celebrations, which attracted a large number of visitors, during the four-day of Eid.  

The distribution of Eid gifts aimed to bring smiles on the faces of children, who visited Katara accompanied by their parents, said Katara in a statement. 

Katara held an array of activities to celebrate Eid Al Adha according to the current situation following the preventive and precautionary measures to curb the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), Salem Mabkhout Al Marri, Director of Public Relations and Communication at Katara, said. 

He added that all efforts were made to provide safety measures enabling a large number of children to get Eid gifts safely.   

As part of the celebrations, Katara inaugurated a 50-metre-long mural (Jedariya) in its main entrance from the southern side, in which 12 Qatari artists participated, under the title, "Katara thanks the medical teams in Qatar" in appreciation of their efforts for the safety and health of the society. 

Al Marri appreciated to all audio and visual media, which was keen on following up and covering Katara celebrations of Eid Al Adha and supporting through its various coverage. 

Representatives from Katara's distributed gifts to children during the ‘Your Eid in Your Car’ activity, which runs from 5pm until 9 pm throughout the holidays. 

As for virtual fireworks, Katara presented them on two parts, first at 8pm and then at 9pm on its website, in a way that corresponds to what it provided from fireworks in the past holidays. 

In addition to the celebration, an Eid competition for children for the most beautiful dress was launched, by sending a photo or video of the participating child, where Katara has allocated prizes to top five winners of each competition, either for the photo or video.
